Partners in Advocacy seeks to empower parents to be their child's best advocate until graduation and beyond. The world of special education can be intimidating, PIA offers parents with tools and support so that they can effectively advocate for their child's needs on their own.
Don't want to go it alone? An Advocate can help making sense of evaluation results and educational best practices. PIA Advocates focus on the needs of the child: educational, social, emotional, and physical. The goal of Advocacy is to effectively identify what should be sought in an IEP and how to work cooperatively with the schools to get it.
Unfortunately, parents and school districts don't always see eye to eye on what is appropriate for the child. Parents have legal rights they can assert for their child. In these situations, parents need the support and expertise of an attorney that practices in special education law.
The following scenarios are a sign that seeking help through an Advocate might be a good idea:
Typically, legal representation is the last resort. However, if the parties cannot come to an agreement on how to provide an appropriate education for the child, parents can assert various legal rights under State and Federal law. At this stage, the parent(s) should shift their engagement from the Advocate to a special education attorney.
