We work to ensure that every child receives a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Our IEP advocacy services help families navigate the special education process with confidence.
Walking into an IEP meeting without preparation can feel overwhelming. We make sure you never go in unprepared.
Before your child’s IEP meeting, we sit down with you to understand your concerns, review your child’s current IEP, and examine any evaluations or assessments you may have. Together, we develop a clear plan of action so you know exactly what to ask for and why.
Our pre-meeting preparation includes:
When you walk into that meeting, you’ll have a plan — and you’ll have us by your side.
An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legally binding document that outlines the special education services, supports, and goals for a child with a disability in public school.
Under IDEA, every child with a qualifying disability is entitled to a free and appropriate public education designed to meet their unique needs. The IEP is the roadmap that makes that happen.
You have rights in this process — and an advocate helps you exercise them.
School districts have teams of professionals who attend IEP meetings every day. For most families, it happens once or twice a year. That imbalance can make it hard to speak up or push back when something doesn’t feel right.
An advocate levels the playing field. We understand the process, we know your rights, and we’re there to make sure your child’s needs are heard and addressed.
“You are your child’s best advocate. We’re here to make sure your voice is heard.”
“Working with my child’s IEP advocate, Casey Dickson, was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the very beginning, they were knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to making sure my child received the support they deserve.
They took the time to explain every step of her IEP, the details in it, as well as a few concerns I had. She managed to get everyone on board on a professional level!
She answered all of my questions and helped me feel confident and prepared during the meeting. Having someone who understood special education law and knew how to advocate effectively made an incredible difference. I felt heard, supported, and empowered as a parent.
Their professionalism, patience, and genuine care for my child’s success were evident throughout the entire process. Thanks to their guidance and advocacy, we were able to secure services and accommodations that will have a meaningful impact on my child’s education.
I highly recommend their services to any parent navigating the IEP process, as well as parents that have had an IEP for years! Having a knowledgeable advocate by your side provides peace of mind and ensures your child’s needs remain the top priority. I am truly grateful for their support and expertise.” -Rosalyn (Solicited)
We attend the IEP meeting with you as your advocate. Having a knowledgeable advocate at the table changes the dynamic of the meeting and helps ensure your child gets the services and supports they deserve.
During the meeting, we:
You don’t have to sit across that table alone.
The IEP meeting is just the beginning. What happens after the meeting matters just as much. Our follow-through services help make sure the plan on paper becomes real progress in the classroom.
If you choose to continue working with us after the IEP meeting, we stay involved to help hold the district accountable and support your child’s success throughout the year.
Follow-through services include:
Your child’s education doesn’t stop when the meeting ends — and neither do we.
After the IEP meeting, many families wonder: is the school actually doing what they agreed to?
Our follow-through services give you peace of mind by keeping a close eye on your child’s progress. We work with you and the district to ensure the IEP is being implemented as written.
Common situations where follow-through helps:
“An IEP is only as good as its implementation. We help make sure it works.”
From preparation to follow-through, we are with you every step of the way. Let us help you fight for the education your child is entitled to.
