For Orlando families
When the IEP process feels overwhelming
If your child has an IEP or 504 plan, or you think they need one, you already know how much paperwork and school language there is. Many Orlando families feel unprepared at IEP meetings, unsure what to ask for, or stuck when a school says no to testing, tutoring, therapy, or other support.
That is more common than you think. You are advocating for your child while the school uses terms like FAPE, LRE, and present levels. Whether your child attends school in Orlando or a nearby Florida district, you deserve a clear plan and someone who can explain your options in plain English.

Orlando IEP and Section 504 advocate FAQ
Answers about hiring a special education advocate in Orlando, Florida, including cost, timing, virtual support, and Section 504 help.
How much does an IEP advocate cost in Orlando, Florida?
Most special education advocates serving Orlando charge $75 to $250 per hour or a flat fee for an IEP meeting. Profiles on this page show the rate when listed. Many advocates offer a free first call before you hire.
When should I hire a special education advocate in Orlando?
Parents in Orlando often hire an advocate when a school denies testing, an IEP, or a Section 504 plan; when IEP goals are not met; before an annual review; or when they need help with IDEA and Section 504 rights.
What is the difference between an IEP advocate and a special education attorney in Florida?
An IEP advocate helps you prepare for meetings, review school records, and negotiate with the district. A special education attorney can represent you in due process hearings and court. Most Orlando families start with an advocate.
Can I hire a virtual advocate if we live in Orlando?

How long does the IEP evaluation process take in Florida?
After you sign consent, schools in Florida typically have 60 school days to complete an initial evaluation and hold an eligibility meeting. IEP teams must review the plan at least once per year. An advocate can help track these deadlines.
