Special Education Advocacy & Accommodations
Do you understand the laws that protect people with cognitive/learning differences?
Do you have the right assessments needed to access services?
Do you know the right accommodations to request?
You can hire our educational advocates to manage this with you!
Elementary, Middle & High School
Supporting families from birth through age 21 with IFSP & IEP.
Most parents don’t know how or where to begin the process of support/accommodations at school. Parents are overwhelmed, scared, and nervous about approaching this system that is unfamiliar.
We can help you:
- Helping families understand the special education system and decide if they want to access public education
- Organize and manage the special education process
- Attend special education meetings such as 504/IEP
- Understanding accommodations
- Assisting parents in advocating for their child’s needs
- Understand your local and online resources for support
- Educating families about medical access to specialists
- Help parents navigate evaluation planning to determine eligibility for special education
You don’t need to be overwhelmed and alone.
University
In college, graduate school and work, you want to be well versed on ADA and the amendments to it.
Each university has a different set of requirements to apply for accommodations. Most colleges require a ‘current’ psychological-educational assessment. This generally means an assessment within the last 3 years. To request accommodations the assessment needs to include a written description of how the scores negatively impact academics. Meaning, a diagnosis alone is usually not enough to access accommodations through disability services.
We are happy to review the requirements by the college/university you would like to attend, help you clarify what paperwork/assessments are needed, and complete any additional testing necessary. We are also happy to review past testing and complete paperwork from your current college to apply for disability services.
