Spark Education SPECIAL NEEDS ADVOCACY

Special Needs Advocacy

Bridging relationships between home and school

A special needs advocate plays a crucial role in supporting families navigating the complexities of the educational and healthcare systems for their children with special needs.

We offer advocacy primarily for families in South Florida and Jamaica; offering invaluable guidance, empowerment and knowledge about their rights and available resources.

As Special Needs Advocates we help parents understand the intricacies of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), ensuring that their child’s educational plan is tailored to meet their unique requirements.

We provide emotional support, helping families navigate the often overwhelming journey of securing appropriate services and accommodations for their child. Advocates collaborate with parents to decipher complex terminologies, attend meetings with school officials, and ensure that the child’s voice and needs are heard and respected.

By arming families with information and advocating for their child’s rights, advocates foster a sense of empowerment, enabling families to make informed decisions and advocate effectively for their child’s well-being and educational success.

Advocacy looks like...

personalized support, proactive communication, and empowered families navigating the educational journey with confidence and understanding.

Observations

We will either observe your child or attend a parent/teacher conference before attending an IEP meeting or staffing. Student observation allow us to speak to the school staff as to what questions or concerns they may have. Observations and/or conferences assist us in determining if additional services or eligibilities should be considered, additional accommodations need to be added to an IEP or 504 plan, and/or if the goals are appropriate.

Meeting Attendance

We attend meetings, whether in person or virtually, with our clients, ensuring they are well-prepared and supported throughout. Our role includes verifying appropriate goals, supplemental services, and document compliance. This not only educates families about the IEP process but also offers them assurance, knowing we advocate for their child and the team's success.

On-Going Check In's

We foster consistent collaboration with families through monthly check-ins, ensuring constant support and clear communication. We urge parents to actively participate by keeping us updated throughout the school year. Prompt communication is crucial when concerns arise, as schools may not always inform us. This ensures effective advocacy on behalf of the child within the school environment. By being proactive, we can offer personalized and timely assistance to both parents and students facing ADHD challenges, enhancing their overall support experience.
