“Finally, we have someone in our corner. Eryn has made us feel like family, and I trust her implicitly.” Jamie P

I am Eryn Yolac, founder of Advocate to Educate.

I am a wife, a mom of two kids, two dogs, and two chickens.

Diagnosed with dyslexia at age six, my K-12 education was extremely challenging, leaving me feeling frustrated and helpless. In college, I spent years rebuilding my confidence and purpose. My childhood was filled with incredible individuals with physical, medical, and cognitive needs. These experiences shaped my understanding of true inclusion. Before becoming a Board-Certified Education Advocate, I spent over a decade working as a special education aide, teacher and educational therapist. Now, I passionately support our families because it is my calling to speak up for the voices that are misunderstood and under represented in our education system.
