Navigating the special education system can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. As a dedicated Special Needs Advocate, I help families understand their rights, secure appropriate services, and ensure their child receives the education they deserve. Whether you are just beginning the process or need support at any stage, I am here to help.
IEP Advocacy
An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legally binding document that outlines specialized services and supports for students with disabilities. I assist families with:
✔ IEP Eligibility & Evaluations – Ensuring your child receives the appropriate assessments and qualifies for the right services.
✔ IEP Meeting Support – Attending meetings with you to advocate for appropriate goals, accommodations, and placement options.
✔ IEP Review & Development – Helping you understand your child’s IEP, ensuring it aligns with their needs, and pushing for necessary modifications.
✔ IEP Parent Coaching - We can give you the tools you need to navigate tough conversations and achieve the best results for your family.
504 Plan Advocacy
A 504 Plan provides accommodations for students with disabilities who do not qualify for an IEP but still need support to access their education. I offer assistance with:
✔ 504 Plan Eligibility – Guiding families through the evaluation and qualification process.
✔ Plan Development & Implementation – Ensuring the plan includes the necessary accommodations and is properly followed.
✔ School Collaboration – Working with schools to address concerns.
