1 based in Nevada · 3 virtual advocates who work with Nevada schools
Advocates work for you, not for the school. That is the whole difference.
Henderson parents tend to call at one of two moments. The first is before an initial evaluation and the second is after a service quietly disappears from the plan.
After the meeting the work is dull. The advocate reads the draft against the notes and sends a correction back the same week.
Note what changed at home. Teachers see one room for one hour and parents see the rest of the day.
No advocate in this directory lists Henderson as their home base. These advocates work from other parts of Nevada, and each card names the city.

IEP Consultant
Hey there! I’ve been a special education teacher for nearly a decade, so helping unique learners thrive is truly my life’s work.
These advocates are not based in Nevada. They join IEP meetings by video or phone, which IDEA allows when you and the school agree.

Special Education Advocate
With 24 years of experience in the K-12 sector, I serves as a Student Support Specialist specializing in academic and behavioral ESE services.
Clark County School District runs the IEP meetings for most Henderson students, and its special education staff will be on the other side of the table when you walk in.
Parents in Las Vegas face the same paperwork. Rules do not change from one town to the next inside a state.
Confirm your child's district by address before you send a letter or name a district-specific process.
The clock that matters starts when you sign consent. In Nevada it runs 45 school days.
Put the request in writing and date it. An email to the Henderson school counts as writing.
Nevada gives a school district 45 school days to finish an initial special education evaluation. No Nevada rule sets a separate deadline for answering a written request, so the federal reasonable-time standard is what applies. Missed deadlines are handled by the Nevada Department of Education, Office of Comprehensive Student Services, which takes written state complaints from parents.
The Nevada Department of Education oversees special education in Nevada. It does not license the advocates parents hire.
Ask what training the advocate actually finished and who ran it. A one-day webinar and a two-year program both end in a certificate.
No advocate can promise a placement or an outcome in Henderson. Anyone who does is selling you something.
You sign, not the advocate. Consent and the plan itself both need a parent signature.
No advocate is listed in every city. A remote advocate who knows Nevada rules is usually a better hire for Henderson than a local one who does not.
Ask whether the advocate has sat in a Clark County School District meeting before. The answer is a yes or a no and it tells you a great deal.
Answers about hiring a special education advocate in Henderson, Nevada, including cost, timing, virtual support, and Section 504 help.
What do special education advocates charge in Henderson, Nevada?
Rates run $75 to $250 per hour. What moves the number is experience, the type of case, and whether anyone has to drive to the meeting. Profiles here show the rate when the advocate publishes one.
Who runs special education for Henderson schools?
Clark County School District runs the IEP meetings for most Henderson students. District lines and city lines are not the same, so confirm yours by address before you send a letter.
What is the evaluation deadline in Nevada?
Nevada sets its own deadline and it is 45 school days. Federal law lets a state do that, so a timeline a parent reads on a national site may not be the one running here.
What is the difference between an IEP and a 504 plan?
The short version. IEP means the school changes what is taught and how, and Section 504 means the school changes the conditions around it.
Where does a written special education complaint go?
The Nevada Department of Education takes written complaints from parents about missed deadlines and services never delivered. An advocate can prepare one. The advocate does not decide it and cannot make the district settle.
