Education Advocacy

Education advocacy is the quest to positively change decisions that affect disabled children, their parents, educators, and society.  Education advocates are focused on providing children with special needs, disabilities, or handicaps with the educational and occupational resources they need to prosper and learn in today’s world.  Parents who have children that are disabled benefit immensely from education advocacy.      

Once a parent notices that his/her child is disabled or handicapped, his/her child may be entitled to certain federally funded education benefits.  These benefits are free and are offered to disabled children who have special education needs.  Some of these educational benefits may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.  These expensive benefits are protected under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and are offered to children with physical and/or mental disabilities or handicaps. 

If your child is disabled, and he/she is not receiving educational benefits, you should consult with an education advocacy attorney immediately.  Your child is entitled to these government benefits and you have the right to seek assistance.  Do not hesitate to speak with a qualified lawyer about education advocacy and your child’s rights.
