Educational Advocacy

As special education advocates, we provide guidance and support as you navigate the complex landscape of special education in your school. We understand that advocating for your child's educational needs can be overwhelming and daunting, which is why we are here to help. With our expertise in special education, we empower you to effectively communicate and collaborate with your child's school. We help ensure your child gets the appropriate educational assessments, services, and accommodations they need. We will work closely with you to accomplish this by helping:

  1. Initiate Evaluation and Assess Goals with the School

  2. Strategize to Create a Plan

  3. Participate in Advocacy Meetings with the School

  4. Review Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)

  5. Problem Solutions as Challenges Arise

We want to support as a trusted ally who will advocate for their child's rights, provide guidance on important decisions, attend IEP meetings, and help foster a positive and collaborative relationship with the school. Together, we can ensure that every child receives the quality education they deserve in an inclusive and supportive environment.
