Educational Advocacy Services
From 504 plan development to IEP advocacy to dispute resolution — comprehensive support at every stage of your child's educational journey.
504 Plan Development & Support
A 504 plan is a legal document that ensures students with disabilities receive appropriate accommodations in the general education setting. I help families understand every aspect of the 504 process — from eligibility determination through implementation and annual review.
What to Expect
- →Review your child's evaluations and documentation
- →Attend 504 eligibility and plan meetings
- →Ensure accommodations are specific, measurable, and appropriate
- →Monitor implementation and follow up with school staff
Who This Is For
Students with disabilities, health conditions, or learning differences who need accommodations but may not qualify for special education services.
Book ConsultationIEP Advocacy & Support
An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is the cornerstone of special education services. It must be tailored to your child's unique needs. I advocate to ensure IEP goals are meaningful, services are appropriate, and the school team upholds their legal obligations.
What to Expect
- →Review existing IEPs for adequacy and legal compliance
- →Attend IEP meetings as your advocate
- →Propose goal revisions and additional services
- →Ensure Extended School Year (ESY) and related services are considered
Who This Is For
Students who qualify for special education services under IDEA, including those with learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, speech/language disorders, and more.
Book ConsultationSchool Meeting Preparation & Attendance
IEP and 504 meetings can be overwhelming — especially when you're sitting across from a team of school professionals. I prepare you for every meeting so you understand what to expect, what to ask, and what to watch for. I also attend as your advocate when needed.
What to Expect
- →Pre-meeting consultation to review documents and goals
- →Develop questions and agenda items to raise
- →In-person or virtual meeting attendance as your advocate
- →Post-meeting debrief and action plan
Who This Is For
Any parent preparing for an IEP meeting, 504 conference, eligibility determination, or re-evaluation meeting.
Book ConsultationEducational Evaluation Review
Psychoeducational evaluations contain critical information about your child's learning profile — but they're written in technical language that can be hard to understand. I translate evaluation findings into actionable recommendations and ensure schools act on them appropriately.
What to Expect
- →Plain-language explanation of evaluation results
- →Comparison of findings to proposed services and goals
- →Recommendations for additional testing if warranted
- →Written summary of concerns to share with the school team
Who This Is For
Families who have received evaluation results and need help understanding the findings and their implications for services.
Book ConsultationAccommodation Planning
Accommodations aren't one-size-fits-all. The right set of accommodations can transform a struggling student into a thriving one. I help identify evidence-based accommodations that match your child's specific learning profile and ensure they are properly documented and implemented.
What to Expect
- →Comprehensive review of student's learning profile
- →Identification of appropriate classroom and testing accommodations
- →Drafting accommodation language for 504 plans or IEPs
- →Follow-up to ensure accommodations are being implemented
Who This Is For
Students who need accommodations for learning disabilities, ADHD, anxiety, chronic illness, or other conditions affecting academic performance.
Book ConsultationDispute Resolution Support
When schools fail to implement agreed-upon services, deny appropriate evaluations, or violate a student's educational rights, families have legal recourse. I help navigate the dispute resolution process — from informal resolution to formal complaints — with expertise and persistence.
What to Expect
- →Documentation review and gap analysis
- →Written communication with school administration
- →State complaint filing guidance
- →Due process hearing preparation support
Who This Is For
Families whose child's IEP or 504 plan is not being properly implemented, or who have been denied services they believe their child is entitled to.
Book ConsultationParent Education & Coaching
The most powerful advocate for your child is you. I offer coaching sessions that teach parents their legal rights, effective communication strategies, and how to build a productive relationship with the school team — so you can advocate confidently for years to come.
What to Expect
- →Review of parent rights under IDEA and Section 504
- →Communication strategy coaching
- →Practice IEP meeting simulations
- →Ongoing support and check-ins
Who This Is For
Parents who want to understand their rights and build their own advocacy skills for long-term support of their child.
Book ConsultationTransition Planning
Transitions — whether to a new school, a new grade, or to post-secondary life — can be critical junctures for students with disabilities. IDEA requires transition planning to begin at age 16. I help ensure transition plans are robust, goal-oriented, and connected to real-world outcomes.
What to Expect
- →Review of current transition goals and plans
- →Connection to post-secondary resources and supports
- →Advocacy for work experience and vocational training
- →Coordination with receiving schools or programs
Who This Is For
Students with IEPs who are transitioning between schools, approaching high school, or planning for post-secondary education, employment, or independent living.
