I’m Russell Lloyd, founder of YourChild.org, author, mentor, and special education advocate. I review the record, find the gaps, build the strategy, prepare the parent, and lead IEP meetings. I help families challenge weak goals, inadequate services, poor evaluations, and plans that do not match the child’s needs. I raised three children with special needs and bring 25+ years of leadership, negotiation, and problem-solving experience to every case.
Russell Lloyd is based in Cumming, Georgia. Russell meets families in person around Cumming and joins IEP meetings by video anywhere in Georgia. The posted rate is $95 per hour. Payment goes to Russell directly, by Credit Card, Bank Transfer, PayPal, and Zelle. The listed age range runs from preschool through transition-age students up to 22. This profile has been listed with us since August 2026. We do not set directory prices or handle payments between you and an independent advocate.
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.
Russell 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 Russell. Find Parent Advocates never assigns an advocate to a family, and the advocates listed here are independent professionals rather than our employees.
