About Us

Arianna Merems is the founder of New Visions Transition Consulting. She received her B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College where she majored in psychology. After college she worked at a non-profit agency with at-risk youth and during that time realized that she was a strong advocate and decided to attend law school. She graduated from Albany Law School and created a successful legal practice. 

Soon after becoming a parent, Arianna began the challenging and rewarding journey of raising a child with different abilities. When her child began the transition process in high school, Arianna saw firsthand that there was a tremendous need for someone to help parents navigate the confusing maze of services, resources and supports their child might need. She also saw an opportunity to educate families about relevant changes to rights and services that occur during the transition period. Many parents came to rely on Arianna’s knowledge and guidance during the transition process. Inspired by the results she achieved for her own child and those of the families she helped, Arianna received a Certificate in Special Education and Transition from Kansas University, and is well-prepared to address all aspects of transition planning. Arianna is also an authorized self-direction support broker. 

New Visions Transition Consulting was created so that individuals, their families, and caregivers  are well served and supported during the transition process and afterwards. Arianna has a unique background of advocacy and legal experience, personal understanding of the challenges facing families of individuals with disabilities, and formal training in Special Education and Transition. New Visions Transition Consulting is looking forward to helping your young person and you have a successful transition experience!
