Education Advocacy

Requesting special education testing
Helping you understand your rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) and 504
Reviewing Individualized Education Plans (IEP) and 504 Plans
Attending meetings, conferences, disciplinary hearings, and manifestation hearings

Our Education Advocate is also available for informational presentations to agencies and education professionals.
