Advocacy FAQ
We walk alongside you with professional expertise and trauma-informed care, ensuring your rights are respected and your family's needs are centered.
The Role of an Advocate
What does an advocate do?
We act as educational consultants, navigating complex school policies and disability rights. We assist with IEP development, document review, and family coaching. Please note: we are not attorneys and do not provide legal advice.
Working with Families
How do we start working together?
The process begins with an intake session and document review. We then schedule regular communication to prepare for school meetings, maintaining clear boundaries to preserve the family's peace of mind.
IEP/504 Advocacy & Timelines
What can I expect in the timeline?
Advocacy is a process. Once intake is complete, we provide document review within set windows and advocate for strict school adherence to legal timelines mandated by IDEA and Section 504.
Accessibility & Fees
How do sliding scales and fees work?
We offer transparent fee structures with a sliding scale to ensure our advocacy remains accessible to all families. We believe disability justice requires institutional financial equity.
Disability Justice & Safety
How is neurodiversity centered in your work?
Our process is rooted in disability justice and a neuro-affirming worldview. We prioritize student safety and systemic inclusion, ensuring that school environments respect individual differences and rights.
