We are a not for profit organization whose sole purpose is to provide advice and resources to families with children with special needs so that they may secure the services their children are entitled to in the public school system. Parents do not pay a dime for our services.
Whether you are attending your first ARD or getting ready for your annual meeting, we want to provide you with the resources necessary to make the meeting meaningful so that you can be a successul advocate for your child.
We can help. We have access to a network of licensed attorneys who have extensive experience in educational law. We would be happy to provide you with links to the legal authorities that can help you develop your child's Individual Education Plan (IEP) or prepare for your ARD.
