if you're like many teachers and parents navigating the special education system,

you're probably feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and like you have to jump through endless hoops.

It's hard trying to figure everything out. There is so much to learn, including legalities, acronyms, types of supports, and more. It is overwhelming trying to navigate it and get your student what they really need. 

That's why I created the Advocate Academy! 

This course was designed specifically for passionate parents and educators like you, who are ready to help students with unique learning requirements thrive. 

Once you complete this course, my goal is that you will feel empowered, knowledgeable, and confident in advocating for your child.
"It all starts with meeting the child where they're at"
Educators and parents alike often do not have a background in Special Education and this can lead to everyone feeling like their voice doesn't matter at the IEP table. 

If you're a teacher, maybe you don't know the child's strengths and interests, so your approach is generic rather than child-centered? Maybe the school is telling you "you can't say/do this/that." Maybe you have multiple students with the same accommodation requests, so you're trying to figure out how to implement it all in a way that serves everyone. 

If you're a parent, maybe you're getting pushback when you try to ask for accommodations. Maybe you just don't know how to find the answers to even know what to ask for. Maybe you feel like the school isn't showing you what they are doing to help your child succeed and things just aren't adding up.

Can you imagine going in to your next meeting feeling confident?
 
Knowing what to bring. Knowing what to get ahead of time so you can be prepared with questions.  Being able to present your child in a way the helps them be seen for who they are, not just their disability.

If so, you're going to want to join us! By the end of this course, you'll better understand the special education process and how to work collaboratively without having to get a Master's degree in Special Education.
