5 based in Texas · 3 virtual advocates who work with Texas schools
Advocates get hired after a meeting goes badly, rarely before the first one, which is why most of them start by reading a file that already carries a year of history in it.
The search usually starts the week a parent reads an evaluation report and cannot tell from it whether Lewisville schools are offering enough.
After the meeting the work is dull. The advocate reads the draft against the notes and sends a correction back the same week.
Request the full file in writing before you hire anyone. Schools have to give parents the education records they keep.
No advocate in this directory lists Lewisville as their home base. These advocates work from other parts of Texas, and each card names the city.

Founder & Advocate
Jade is a former special education teacher who has taught everything from pre-k all the way to transition classrooms with students up to age 21.
Lewisville ISD runs the IEP meetings for most Lewisville students, and its special education staff will be on the other side of the table when you walk in.
Families who move between Carrollton and here change districts, and the new team is not required to keep the old plan word for word.
Confirm your child's district by address before you send a letter or name a district-specific process.
Once you sign consent for testing, a Texas district has 45 school days to finish an initial evaluation, and that clock does not stop because a case manager is out or the file went to the wrong building.
Write down what you want the school to add, in one page, before you walk into the Lewisville meeting, because a team that reads your list in advance cannot pretend it never came up.
Texas gives a school district 45 school days to finish an initial special education evaluation. A written request for an evaluation has to be answered inside 15 school days. Missed deadlines are handled by the Texas Education Agency, Office of Special Populations and Student Supports, which takes written state complaints from parents.
No state license exists for special education advocacy. No federal agency issues one either, and no exam stands between a person and the title.
Check the references and not the letters after the name. Two calls to past clients settle it faster than any credential list.
No advocate can promise a placement or an outcome in Lewisville. Anyone who does is selling you something.
Lewisville ISD is allowed to say no. What it is not allowed to do is say no without written notice that explains the reason.

Ask whether the advocate has sat in a Lewisville ISD 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 Lewisville, Texas, including cost, timing, virtual support, and Section 504 help.
What do special education advocates charge in Lewisville, Texas?
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 Lewisville schools?
Most of the city sits inside Lewisville ISD. 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.
Are there free IEP advocates in Lewisville?
Free guidance exists. Parent centers, disability rights agencies and local parent groups all give it, and none of them will attend the meeting as your representative.
What should a records request say?
Ask in writing and address it to the district rather than the front office. Schools have to let parents inspect the education records they keep, and inspection has to happen before the next IEP meeting.
What is the difference between an IEP and a 504 plan?
An IEP provides specialized instruction and related services under IDEA. A 504 plan provides accommodations under a civil rights law and does not require specialized instruction. Eligibility rules differ, so a child can qualify for one and not the other.
