Special Education Advocacy

Did you know that special education advocacy prepares your child for a future filled with opportunities and success? As a parent, you want the best for your child. You provide everything possible at home and trust the school will do the same. But does it? Are the supports your child receives in the classroom inclusive and individualized enough?

It’s up to YOU to advocate for your child. You have the power to:

Tailor your child’s education
Demand appropriate accommodations
Speak up for your child’s rights
Question things that don’t seem right
Set your child up for success

Special needs families face unique challenges. Unfortunately, it seems that the educational system as a whole is no longer designed for your amazing child. Today, schools are quick to slap on labels. But you know a label doesn’t define your kid. They are so much more! It’s time to speak up to ensure your child receives the best education possible.

At Special Ed Resource, we support all people with special needs. Our IEP consulting services and resources ensure no one gets lost in the system. And as a parent advocate for special education, you can trust us to put your child’s best interests at the forefront.

HOW DOES PARENT ADVOCACY WORK?

Special needs parenting doesn’t come with an instruction booklet. Instead, you rely on instinct to do the best for your child. You challenge the system, raise your voice when something seems wrong, and fight for your child’s rights. You are a fantastic parent to a uniquely awesome kid.

Special education advocacy ensures your child:

Has an accurate IEP
Receives proper accommodations
Has access to suitable supports
Learns how to socialize with peers
Develops better executive functioning skills
Feels proud of themselves
Is ready for the future

As a special ed advocate, you are a caretaker, teacher, provider, and protector. You ask the tough questions and demand personalized answers. No one knows your child better than you. But that doesn’t mean you have to advocate alone.

Advocate with a Trusted Partner

Special Ed Resource provides the resources necessary to ensure your child receives a quality, tailored education. We cut through the red tape to help you implement an IEP individualized to your child’s needs.

You advocate for your child, and we advocate for you!

Further, inclusivity should be accessible to everyone! That’s why our services are value-driven. Whether you choose us for IEP advocacy or online tutoring, our affordable prices mean your child always comes first.

What If You Need an Adult Special Needs Advocate?

Caring for an adult with special needs? Are you worried the system will forget them? This is an all-too-common concern for many parents and guardians. Luckily, you can be an advocate for anyone with special needs—no matter their age!

Kids with special needs grow up to become adults with special needs. As people transition from childhood to adulthood, they face new challenges. But there’s no reason a disability should stop anyone from living a purposeful, rewarding life.

Here’s how special ed advocacy benefits adults:

Assistance transitioning from school-based support into independent or assisted living
Career training or work placement
Higher education support
Accommodations for college or the workplace

Just because an individual “ages out” of the system doesn’t mean they no longer need a special needs advocate. At Special Ed Resource, we help you best advocate for the special needs adult in your life. Additionally, we provide one-on-one special ed tutoring services to people of all ages.

If you’ve ever felt like teachers just didn’t get your child with autism, you were probably right. That’s the difference at Special Ed Resource. We vet autism tutors who get it and are armed with the most effective tutoring strategies to facilitate optimal results for your child. No cookie-cutter learning plans designed for the typical student. Only extraordinary plans for your extraordinary child.
