As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
A seasoned educational expert with years of expertise in behavior modification and special education, Ms. Cohen presently excels as a special education advocate and educational consultant for Cara Cohen Advocate. In this capacity, she helps families who have children with special needs or disabilities, including, but not limited to, cognitive, social, and emotional disabilities. Additionally, she assists families in obtaining individualized education plans for their children. Prior to establishing herself in private practice, Ms. Cohen worked in a variety of settings focusing on students with special needs.
During the early stages of her career, Ms. Cohen gained valuable expertise as a special educator for The New England Center for Children. She furthered her career working for Alexandria City Public Schools in northern Virginia as a special education teacher and then moved on to be the Autism Resource Specialist. Driven to remain abreast of changes in the field, she aligns herself with the Special Needs and Elder Care Group within USA500, the Special Education Parent Advocacy Network, the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates, Inc., and the Federation for Children with Special Needs.
