Your Child is Entitled to a FREE APPROPRIATE PUBIC EDUCATION

But what exactly does FAPE mean?

The essence of FAPE is detailed in IDEA 2004. But do you have the time to read volumes of legal jargon to discern what your take a ways are for your student's situation? Parents have specific rights to advocate to get what is needed for successful outcomes and to secure adequate progress for their student each school year. No matter if your child has or has not qualified for a Section 504 Plan or an IEP, you have rights! IEP Coaching & Advocacy has advocated successfully for hundreds and hundreds of students over the past decade. We help students get the services and supports they need to perform their best. Why? Because we CARE and we are good at solving problems and getting positive results.

Is Inclusion Possible?

You hear other parents boasting about how their child is 'fully included' but when you try to get your child more time during the school day to be educated alongside her peers without disability, you are told 'she isn't ready and that is not her LRE.'

Inclusion

Behavior is a Form of Communication

Many children experience behavior challenges. Children without expressive language struggle to get their needs met and often it is evident in the way they behave. If your child is struggling with negative behavior, we can help you get the school to do its part in coming alongside your child and equipping him with the tools necessary for his success.

WHY do you NEED an Advocate?

There are so many reasons why you need an Advocate but one we've been told repeatedly is that the school does not take the time to explain what is available. It’s not that the school-based team is deliberately withholding information, but it can certainly feel that way.

Another reason is that sometimes school staff are ignorant of what is appropriate. They may provide outdated or misinformed policies and procedures believing that they are being helpful.

Another reason you need an Advocate is to help you stay focused on the objective. Parents can become emotional, after all it’s your precious child they are describing!

You have the right to make known all your concerns and to have each one of them adequately addressed by the school team.

Together we can get everything your child needs in order to be successful in school and beyond.
