New Braunfels IEP and Section 504 advocate FAQ
Answers about hiring a special education advocate in New Braunfels, Texas, including cost, timing, virtual support, and Section 504 help.
How much does an IEP advocate cost in New Braunfels?
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.
Do I need a lawyer or an advocate for my child?
Two different jobs. The advocate works the IEP process and the attorney works the legal one. If a hearing is already filed, you need the attorney.
Which school district serves New Braunfels, Texas?
Most New Braunfels families work with New Braunfels ISD. Charter and magnet enrollment can change which agency owes the service, so ask that question before the first meeting.
How long does the IEP evaluation process take in Texas?
The rule here is 45 school days. It covers the evaluation only. Writing the plan after a child is found eligible is a separate step with its own timing.
What records should I ask for before an IEP meeting?
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.
