STUDENT ADVOCACY MICHIGAN BLOG
Working as a Special Education Advocate in Michigan and having a child on an IEP has taught me how challenging it can be to get the right supports in place at school for a different learner or special needs child. The system is complex and involves many civil rights and special education laws which makes it difficult for parents to know what to do. Don't fight this battle alone! I work as a Special Education Advocate and serve families all across Michigan helping make this process easier! Contact me today to get started! Don't forget to check out free downloads, resources and my blog posts!
