Next Step Advocacy provides full-service, personalized support to families navigating the IEP, 504 plan, and special education process.

Founded by a former special education teacher with over a decade of experience, we understand how overwhelming and emotional it can be to advocate for your child’s needs. That’s why we partner closely with families to provide expert guidance, compassionate support, and clear communication every step of the way.

Our services include helping families initiate assessments, reviewing documents, developing strategies, and participating directly in IEP and 504 meetings — either virtually or in person. Whether you’re new to the process or seeking stronger outcomes, we’re here to help you feel confident and ensure your child receives the support they deserve.

We work with families both locally and remotely and are committed to helping every child reach their full potential.
