Educational Advocacy
The Educational Advocacy program assists families in guiding and supporting them through the special education process as a bridge between education staff and families. We educate on the proper processes to avoid breakdowns in communication to ensure that the child’s needs are met by means of referrals, recommendations, resources, materials, and meetings when necessary. Our Advocates listen to concerns from families and schools, create agendas for meetings, facilitate discussion between school staff and families, promote positive problem solving, bring best practices to the table, and aim to assist families and schools in keeping open communication that puts the student’s need at the center of every conversation. Using an Advocate ensures that parents are meaningful participants in the Special Education process, their voices are heard, concerns are addressed, and the laws and rights of their children with Special Education services are upheld throughout the process.
