Built to help families navigate with confidence.
Strong Anchor Consulting empowers parents of children with disabilities through education, strategic guidance, and actionable tools that transform overwhelm into capability.
Built on a simple belief about family strength
Strong Anchor Consulting started with a clear purpose: help families of children with disabilities move from overwhelm to confidence. We believe families already have the resourcefulness and capability they need. What they're missing is the right information, language, and guidance to navigate complex systems and advocate effectively. That's what we provide.
The person behind Strong Anchor
Kristi Young
Founder and Consultant
I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals and families navigating disability across multiple settings—including in-home care, systems navigation, education, leadership, and federal advocacy. My career has spanned direct support roles- care giving, special education teaching, and serving as a Special Education Director, where I coordinated services, worked within complex systems, and helped families access the supports they need to thrive. Throughout my work, I have partnered closely with families to translate overwhelming systems into clear, actionable steps—whether in education, services, or long-term planning. I also have experience at the federal level, advocating for special education funding and policy through collaboration with legislative offices. In addition to my professional background, I am a parent of a teen with a medically complex disability. This perspective grounds my work in real-life experience and reinforces my commitment to practical, sustainable support for families navigating similar paths.
