Special education and Section 504 advocates for Alvin ISD families in Rosharon.
5 based in Texas · 3 virtual advocates who work with Texas schools
An advocate is a paid professional who reads the evaluation reports, drafts your concerns, sits beside you at the IEP table, and follows up on whatever the school agreed to do.
Rosharon 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.
Advocates also coach. Some Rosharon parents hire one for two hours of prep and go into the meeting alone.
Alvin ISD 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 Rosharon as their home base. These advocates work from other parts of Texas, and each card names the city.

Federal law lets a state write its own evaluation deadline instead of using the national one. What Texas actually requires is 45 school days.
Keep every email. Most of what an advocate does with a Rosharon file is date-stamping what the school already told you.
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.
Texas does not license or certify special education advocates. Anyone in Rosharon can print a card with the word advocate on it.

Answers about hiring a special education advocate in Rosharon, Texas, including cost, timing, virtual support, and Section 504 help.
What is the hourly rate for a parent advocate?
Flat fees are common for a single meeting and hourly billing is common for everything else. Many advocates give a free first call. Nobody bills you through this site, so ask each person how they invoice.
Is an IEP advocate a type of lawyer?
No. Advocates prepare for meetings, read the records and negotiate with the district. Attorneys file due process complaints and appear at hearings, which an advocate cannot do.
Does Alvin ISD cover every Rosharon address?
Most Rosharon families work with Alvin ISD. Charter and magnet enrollment can change which agency owes the service, so ask that question before the first meeting.
How do I know where an advocate actually works from?
No advocate is listed in every town, and each card here says where that person lives. Somebody who knows the state rules and has an opening this month usually beats the nearest name on the list.
Who investigates a school for missing an IEP deadline?
Written complaints go to the Texas Education Agency. It decides on the paperwork rather than at a hearing, so dates and documents are what the decision turns on.
