Frequently Asked Questions about Special Education Advocacy

Navigating the world of special education can be overwhelming for families. Here, we address some common questions to help you better understand the advocacy process, IEPs, and the support services available to you and your child.

What is an IEP?

An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legally binding document that outlines the educational goals, services, and accommodations for a child with disabilities. It is tailored to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring they receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE).

How can I advocate for my child’s needs?

Advocating for your child involves understanding their rights, communicating effectively with school staff, and being prepared to negotiate for the services they require. Our resources and workshops can equip you with the tools and strategies needed to be an effective advocate.

What support services are available?

Support services can include counseling, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and more, depending on your child's needs. These services are designed to help students succeed in their educational environment and can be included in their IEP.

What should I do if I disagree with the school’s decisions?

If you disagree with the school’s decisions regarding your child’s education, you have the right to request a meeting to discuss your concerns. If necessary, you can also pursue mediation or due process to resolve disputes. Our advocates can guide you through this process.
