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
