Sanford Autism Advocacy Group
Special Education Advocate
At the Sanford Autism Advocacy Group (SAAG), we are a small but mighty special education consulting group with an emphasis on Autism and IEPs. Our director, Crystal Sanford, is the parent of an autistic child and has a sibling with developmental disabilities. Crystal is also a Speech-Language Pathologist with over 25 years of practice in Southern CA. We are passionate about empowering families so that neurodivergent children receive the education they deserve.
All of our advocates have professional training as well as lived experience with federal law IDEA and IEPs. We love to come alongside families through strategic parent coaching, IEP document analysis, virtual conferences or trainings (funded by the CA Regional Center), as well as attendance at IEP meetings.
Every team member at SAAG is also either a parent or family member to a child on the autism spectrum, so we "get you because we are you"!
