Advocacy for Parents and Families
Navigating special education is not always easy, and it's helpful to have someone with experience guiding you as you work with your child's school and/or IEP team. We offer advocacy support (not legal advice) to parents and family members on a sliding fee scale. The first hour is always free!
​
​Advocacy supports may include:
-
Understanding Special Education Processes
-
IEP/504 Reviews
-
IEP/504 Meeting Support
-
Generating Questions for School Teams
