Our Guests Bio: 
Marilyn Muller is a pro bono advocate for “free” appropriate public-funded education (FAPE) to ensure each child gets what they most need to thrive, be proficiently literate, and prepared for further education, employment, and independent living.
As the mom of Lauryn, a 15-year-old twice-exceptional dyslexic, Marilyn lived closest to systemic failures in both general and special education classrooms. As Lauryn struggled to acquire the foundational skills of early literacy, her "A" rated, publicly funded Massachusetts school district abandoned her educational and functional needs by solely implementing the K-3 Balanced Literacy curriculum and instruction. As a result, Marilyn had no other choice but to fund Lauryn's placement in a private school that employs Structured Literacy. Once Lauryn began receiving appropriate instruction, she thrived academically and later became student council President. These lived experiences have caused Marilyn to believe that literacy is an "equitable education." and social justice issue, so she's committed to raising and spreading awareness and facilitating positive change through her advocacy and charity.
