Who is Krystal Taylor?
Krystal has a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education as well as a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in Autism Spectrum Disorders and Behavior Analysis. As a former classroom teacher and behavior therapist, Krystal offers a unique view of special education meetings and services. She can help parents understand the educational jargon and feel less intimidated walking into an IEP/504 meeting. She can also discuss limitations of schools and how much they are capable of. When going through the IEP process with her own son, she learned a lot about the emotional toll that these documents and meetings takes on parents and caregivers. It is her goal to make sure all parents feel represented and can get their questions answered without feeling intimidated.

When not working, Krystal is busy chasing around her two boys, Brooks and Luke. Together with her husband, Jesse, they enjoy biking, exploring, and watching the boys experience new things. They bring so much joy and watching them learn and grow has been amazing.
