NEED HELP NAVIGATING...

Education

Navigating the education system can be daunting. Our children start struggling and we don't know what to do. We ask the school and maybe they are helpful, or maybe not. The struggles remain. As parents, we often face school staff across the meeting table and feel overwhelmed by what they are saying. The data, reports, and the plans are filled with jargon and perspectives that may or may not overlook our child’s strengths and needs. This is why an advocate can be helpful. Our advocates simplify the information, ensuring you are informed and empowered in discussions about your child’s education. They attend those school meetings with you, providing confidence and support, and on the spot navigation. If you’re puzzled by terms like 504, IEP, IEE, MET 1, MET 2, FBA, BIP, and FAPE, our advocates are ready to translate! Contact us today to get the support you need.
