MY approach is the difference.
objective, evidence-based life care planning and future damages analysis using reliable methods that withstand legal scrutiny.
WORK WITH TAYLOR SIMMONS
My work as a Certified Life Care Planner is distinguished by more than two decades of experience in education, special education, and educational leadership, combined with doctoral-level training and real-world systems oversight. This background uniquely positions me to serve as both a life care planning professional and a credible expert witness, particularly in cases involving children, adolescents, and young adults with educational, behavioral, and developmental needs.
As a former principal, district director, and adjunct professor in special education, I bring an applied understanding of how services are designed, delivered, documented, and evaluated within public and private educational systems. This allows me to develop life care plans that are not only comprehensive, but also realistic, evidence-based, and aligned with how supports are actually implemented in schools and related service environments.
TWO DECADES OF EXPERIENCE
My expertise in IEP development, functional behavior assessments, MTSS, and progress monitoring enables me to clearly articulate educational and behavioral needs in a manner that withstands legal scrutiny. I am able to explain complex educational concepts, service delivery models, and future support needs in clear, accessible language for judges, juries, and attorneys—bridging the gap between educational practice and legal standards.
Having served in leadership roles responsible for compliance, program evaluation, and assessment at the district level, I understand the legal and regulatory frameworks governing special education and related services. This perspective strengthens my expert testimony by grounding opinions in established standards, data-driven decision-making, and accepted professional practices.
A FOCUSED SPECIALTY
In expert witness settings, I am experienced in reviewing records, identifying service gaps, projecting future educational and functional needs, and supporting opinions with documentation, research, and professional standards. My testimony reflects a balanced, objective approach rooted in professional experience, methodological rigor, and a clear understanding of the long-term educational and life impacts of injury or disability.
