Why should I hire a special education advocate?

Our Answer: Because you don’t know what you don’t know!

 We offer a continuum of services. This means that we want you to have a seamless experience. When you start your IEP journey, you might find that you need Advocacy, but if the situation escalates, then you have easy access to starting due process, and you don’t have to start all over. It saves time and resources to be able to transition to utilizing an attorney. Either way, you’re dealing with caring professionals who are experts in the Special Education field.
