Special education and Section 504 advocates for Clark County School District families in Summerlin.
1 based in Nevada · 3 virtual advocates who work with Nevada schools
An IEP advocate goes to school meetings with you and argues for services your child is not getting.
Parents in Summerlin usually start looking for an advocate when a meeting is already on the calendar.
Advocates also coach. Some Summerlin parents hire one for two hours of prep and go into the meeting alone.
Clark County School District keeps progress data on every goal in the plan. Ask for it as a table of dates and numbers rather than a paragraph.
No advocate in this directory lists Summerlin as their home base. These advocates work from other parts of Nevada, and each card names the city.

Special Education Advocate
I am a former special education teacher, with experience in public and therapeutic day schools.
Clark County School District runs the IEP meetings for most Summerlin students, and its special education staff will be on the other side of the table when you walk in.
District lines and city lines are not the same thing. A street can sit inside one city and be zoned to the district next door.
Confirm your child's district by address before you send a letter or name a district-specific process.
The deadline for finishing an initial evaluation in Nevada is 45 school days. Put that date on your calendar the day the paperwork goes in.
Ask the Summerlin team for the evaluation report before the meeting, not at it, because nobody reads a long report accurately while the rest of the team waits.
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.
Nevada does not license or certify special education advocates. Anyone in Summerlin can print a card with the word advocate on it.
Clark County School District does not approve or bar advocates. Federal rules let a parent bring anyone with knowledge of the child to the meeting.
An advocate cannot make the district agree. What moves a district is the record you build, not the person sitting next to you, and a good advocate spends more hours on the record than in the room.
Nobody can undo a meeting you already agreed to in writing. Read the page you are asked to sign before the room empties.
Video is normal now. 24 of the advocates listed for Summerlin work with families by phone or video instead of driving to the school.
Read a profile for what the advocate actually did, not for what the profile claims. Case detail is the tell.
Answers about hiring a special education advocate in Summerlin, Nevada, including cost, timing, virtual support, and Section 504 help.
What is the hourly rate for a parent advocate?
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.
Does Clark County School District cover every Summerlin address?
Most of the city sits inside Clark County School District. The district writes the plan and holds the special education budget, which is why a complaint about a missed service names the district and not the school.
How long can a school take to test my child?
The deadline in Nevada for finishing an initial evaluation is 45 school days. Put that date on your calendar the day you sign consent, because the district counts from the paperwork and not from the conversation.
How do I get my child school records?
Ask for the full file, which means every evaluation, the progress data behind each goal and any email where the school said no. Put it in writing and keep the date.
Who investigates a school for missing an IEP deadline?
Three routes stay open when you disagree. Mediation is voluntary for both sides, a written state complaint is decided on the record by the Nevada Department of Education, and a due process hearing takes evidence.
