Meaningful Special Education Advocacy provides special education advocacy services, including educational record review, attending IEP/ARD and MDR meetings virtually, state complaints or Office of Civil Rights filings, compensatory service agreements, correspondence between the district, families, and outside agencies, parent support and preparing their file to be sent to the attorney for due process.
There are no special degrees to be a special education advocate. However, we spend countless hours dedicated to professional development to enhance the lives of the students we serve. A special education advocate is a professional who supports and advocates for the rights and needs of students with disabilities in the educational system. They work closely with students, parents, and educators to ensure that students with special needs receive appropriate services and accommodations. Special education advocates are knowledgeable about special education laws, regulations, and procedures, and they can provide guidance and assistance throughout the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process. Their role is to help parents and students understand their rights, navigate the special education system, and promote the best interests of the student.
