The world of special education is a complex one. Special education laws and educational jargon can make the IEP table an overwhelming place. A special education advocate can help form a bridge between a school and family, level the playing field, and make the process easier.
The IEP table can be a scary and intimidating place, but it doesn't have to be. With the help of an advocate, you can remove the fear and anxiety from the special education process and focus on what really matters; your child. An advocate will help ensure that your voice is heard, even when your emotions kick in, and will remain focused on the end goal of getting your child the appropriate education that they deserve.
