  Expert Advocacy for Families Navigating Education and Support

Psychological Advocacy for Families with Special Needs

This service is for a psychological advocate who aids in supporting a family with someone with special needs or a psychological disability (most likely will be used as an educational advocate for children with special needs). For example, if a child has a developmental disability and is in school and needs accommodations (IEP, 504 plan, and educational support), such as extra time on testing, different seating arrangements and aids, etc. The psychologist would help support, educate, and navigate that process for the parents/family. This usually looks like psychoeducation about the school system, testing, school regulations, and accommodations/IEP process.
