IEP / School Advocacy
Navigating the public school system when your child has specialized needs can be overwhelming. That’s where IEP and school advocacy support comes in. Erica offers personalized guidance to help families understand their rights, request evaluations, attend school meetings, and advocate for the services their child deserves. Whether your child is gifted or managing challenges like ADHD, anxiety, or a learning disability, working with an advocate ensures your child’s educational needs are addressed with clarity and confidence.
School Advocacy Benefits
Typical goals include: helping families understand the IEP process, navigating school bureaucracy, improving the quality of educational plans, ensuring access to appropriate services, and maximizing benefits such as The McKay Scholarship. Advocacy helps families secure the supports their child needs to thrive in a public school environment.
Why Seek IEP or School Advocacy?
This service is ideal for families whose children face academic, emotional, or developmental challenges in school—including gifted learners, students with ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, or speech and sensory disorders. If you’re unsure how to request evaluations, write a strong IEP, or hold the school accountable, advocacy can make the process manageable and effective.
How can IEP advocacy help me?
With an experienced advocate by your side, you’ll feel supported and empowered to make the best decisions for your child’s education. You’ll gain clarity on your rights, confidence in school meetings, and assurance that your child is receiving the Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) they are legally entitled to. Most importantly, you’ll be free to focus on parenting—while your advocate ensures the school system meets its responsibilities.
The list below is just a handful of reasons why your child may qualify for services from the school system. If you answer YES to any of the following, call today to find out how an advocate can help your child succeed in school! Don’t wait another grading period!
