Parent Advocacy for Special Education
Resources & Consulting to Support Your Goals
How does parent advocacy play a role in your child’s education? All kids—regardless of how they learn—deserve a high-quality education. But as the parent of a child with special needs, you know the importance of fighting to ensure your kid gets the supports and accommodations needed to thrive.
YOU know your child the best. They rely on YOU to keep their best interests in mind. YOU are their voice.
YOU are a parental advocate.
But you don’t have to navigate the system alone.
Special Ed Resource wants to help you become the strongest parent advocate for your child. We understand the unique needs people with autism, dyslexia, and other learning disabilities face. Let us create an individualized plan to ensure your child gets the best representation possible.
How Does Parent Advocacy Work?
Asking the tough questions. Speaking up when something seems wrong. Putting your child’s needs first. These are all roles parent advocates play. And the more noise you make, the better the outcome for your kid.
When parents advocate, their children succeed. Here are a few benefits of parental advocacy:
- Accurate IEPs
- Proper accommodations
- Improved social skills
- Better grades
- Higher self-esteem
Special Ed Resource understands the system and will ensure your child’s IEP is individualized for their needs. We advocate for parents!
