Are you lawyers?
No. We are family advocates. We help you prepare and speak up; we do not give legal advice.
Can you come to the meeting?
With your permission, we can join online.
Do I need an IEP already?
No. We can help you understand how to ask for one.
What should I have ready for our first meeting?
Your child's current IEP or 504 plan if there is one, recent report cards or test results, and a few notes on what worries you. Share only what you are comfortable sharing.

Yes. We help you understand the reason, decide what to ask next and put your request in writing. We do not give legal advice.
