Raja Maharba - Unstoppable Mama

Raja Marhaba Raja Marhaba’s journey in special education may be compared to David and Goliath as she fought the second largest school district in the nation to obtain badly needed services and placements for both her sons. The district took a middle-class mom to 9th Circuit Federal Court in an effort to intimidate and drain all financial resources so that she would give up. Yet, Raja Marhaba, stood tall exhausting all resources available to her and sacrificing her marriage, lifestyle and business in order to provide both her sons the Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). This was their right according to the Individual Disability Education Act (IDEA). The district hired high priced attorneys in an effort to prevent her sons from receiving services and proper educational placement. These services played a significant role in aiding both sons to access grade level curriculum and obtain success in the school environment. The book “Unstoppable” will not only tell Raja Marhaba’s story, but be a resource something like a “living document” parents can continuously refer to when advocating for their own special needs children. 2021 Diane Lipton Award for Outstanding Advocate 2021 Daily Point of Light Honoree 2021 The San Fernando Valley Business Journal Sixth Annual Valley 200 2020 Inducted into the Prestigious Marquis Who’s Who Biographical Registry 2020 Lady in Red Diamond Rose Award 2019 L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth Honoree 2016 Enterprising Women of the Year Award 2009 University of California, Los Angeles, an American Bar Association Certificate Program 2004 Special Education Advocate Training (SEAT) Connect with Raja Maharba: http://thejonathanfoundation.org/ UNSTOPPABLE ADVOCACY https://unstoppableadvocacy.com/ Connect with Rev.
