Special Educational Advocacy

We are non-attorney special advocates who have specific knowledge and expertise in the field of special education. We work on behalf of students with disabilities and their families and ensure they receive appropriate educational services. We are NOT licensed attorneys but are trained to understand the legal requirements and rights of students under federal and state laws. We assist families in navigating the special education process, attend meetings and advocate for students’ needs.

We like to think of ourselves as “educational consultants” as we are not adversarial to the schools but instead work to build or, in some cases, rebuild relationships. We would be happy to provide advice, advise on the next steps, review exciting IEP/ARD/504 documents, and develop an action plan. Additionally, we would be glad to offer suggestions to do at home or simply calm your worries. To learn more about our philosophy, please book a complimentary “advocacy consultation.”
