Do you need an Advocate?
Is your child having academic, behavioral, or social difficulties and you don’t know the best way to communicate with his school?
Is your child eligible for special education services and you don’t know if her needs are being met?
Has the school told you that your child is not eligible for special education, but you feel that they are wrong?
Has the school denied your child their rights?
Is your child on an IEP however, their needs are still not being meet, and you are afraid that your son or daughter will fall further behind?
