Advocacy
No one can be more of an expert
on the child's needs than the parents. Becoming an advocate for
your child is the biggest role you will play in the success of
your child's education. Attached is a website that allows parents
the opportunity to become equipped with the necessary information
to ensure their child's needs are being met by the school district
or school in which they attend.
