Educational Expertise
Advocates understand special education laws (IDEA, Section 504), evaluation processes, and evidence-based educational practices for students with disabilities.
Collaborative Support
They work alongside parents and school teams to develop appropriate educational plans, ensuring students receive necessary accommodations and modifications.
Rights Protection
Advocates help protect student and parent rights under federal and state education laws, ensuring schools provide Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE).
