Are you:

Special education can be extremely confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming. For parents and caregivers that are new to special education, I recommend:

1. Schedule a FREE 30 minute consultation. We'll give some suggestions and recommendations to start you on the path to improving your child's education!
2. Join a workshop. Creating a Vision Statement and The IEP Binder are good first steps.
3. Look for local resources to connect you with other families who are working through the maze of special education. You are not alone!

Many people look for an advocate after months of being ignored. Others have a gut feeling that something just isn't right. Consider taking the following steps:

1. Schedule a FREE 30 minute consultation. We'll listen, and provide ideas that you can consider to make your voice heard and valued.
2. One of our minicourses can help you learn to advocate effectively. You'll learn how to make the school listen, and some things they can and cannot do.
3. Learn to write letters that the school district will read. We have a workshop for that.

Advocacy is a marathon, not a sprint, and EVERY advocate needs to continuously improve their skills and abilities. Advocacy Unlocked can help you!

1. Workshops: These are with small groups of parents and caregivers, and focus on one skill or knowledge area. Some recent ones covered how to make an IEP Binder and writing professional letters.
2. Coaching: We have coaching on preparing for a meeting, reviewing the IEP, and other topics. Coaching is one-on-one.
3. eBooks: We currently (8/2024) are nearing publication of our eBook, "The IEP Binder: A How-To Guide." We'll have more eBooks in the future. 

We have all sat around the IEP table at one time or another, dazed and confused. We can help! Some steps that will help you move through the fog:

1. Schedule a FREE 30 minute consultation. Let us know what is going on, and we can try to help.
2. Consider enrolling in one of our minicourses. They have been designed to help parents develop a foundational knowledge base to begin advocacy.
3. Read through our blog posts. We try to explain the IEP process and provide tips and strategies.
4. Watch our YouTube channel, and join Ask an Advocate. Both of these resources will answer many common questions for you, and provide some advocacy strategies and tips.
