The Reality Most Families Face Without Professional Advocacy
Right now, thousands of families across California and Washington are sitting in IEP meetings feeling completely lost. They're nodding along to educational jargon they don't understand, accepting services that sound adequate but aren't, and walking away frustrated because they know their child needs more—but they don't know how to ask for it or even what to ask for.
What Professional Special Education Advocacy Actually Looks Like
Professional advocacy isn't just attending meetings with you—it's becoming your child's educational strategist, legal protector, and your family's voice when schools aren't listening.
1. Before the Meeting
We spend hours reviewing your child's evaluations, past IEPs, and current performance data. We identify gaps in services, research evidence-based interventions for your child's specific needs, and prepare a strategic plan. You'll know exactly what to ask for and why you're asking for it.
2. During the Meeting
While you focus on being your child's parent, we handle being their advocate. We ask the hard questions, challenge inadequate proposals, and ensure every service your child needs is documented and agreed upon. Schools take meetings seriously when professional advocates are present.
3. After the Meeting
We don't disappear when the meeting ends. We monitor implementation, follow up on commitments, and intervene immediately if schools aren't providing agreed-upon services. Your child's success is our ongoing responsibility.
