An advocate reads your child's school file, writes to the district, gets you ready for the meeting, and sits in the meeting with you.
Clara is not an attorney and does not give legal advice.
No advocate can promise a result. The district still has to agree to what you ask for, or you have to take the disagreement further.
Hiring is between you and Clara. Find Parent Advocates never assigns an advocate to a family, and the advocates listed here are independent professionals rather than our employees.
