For a student with learning differences, learning concerns take many forms. We help families understand and address previously identified learning challenges, as well as pinpoint overlooked factors that may be affecting a child’s ability to learn.

To empower families and give a voice to students, we can assist with the following:

• Advising parents about services, programs, and accommodations that meet their children’s individual needs
• Helping parents interpret reports and evaluations, as well as explaining their implications
• Drafting requests, responses, and complaints to schools
• Assisting parents with submitting written requests
• Preparing parents for IEP and 504 meetings (meetings that outline the services and accommodations students will receive and how schools will remove barriers to learning, such as providing a calculator to students with dyscalculia), which may include suggesting support materials or prioritizing goals and objectives
• Checking special education documents for accuracy and completion both before and after IEP and 504 meetings
• Accompanying parents to IEP and 504 meetings to offer advice and assistance
• Advising parents about the strength of their cases before review and offering referrals to special education attorneys when appropriate
