IEP & 504 Advocacy Services in Los Angeles

An IEP advocate helps parents navigate the special education process.

I help you understand your child's rights, review evaluations and reports, prepare for IEP and 504 meetings, attend meetings as your support, and follow up on what the school agrees to provide.

Start by looking for an advocate with formal training and verifiable credentials, plus real experience in special education. I work with families in the greater Los Angeles area.

To get started, book a consultation, and we'll talk through your child's situation and the best next step.

Cost varies based on the services you need. My File Review Package is $1,200 and includes a detailed report and consultation.

My Evaluation Package and Meeting Package are each $1,800 and include pre- and post-meeting correspondence, training, wrap-around support, meeting prep, and meeting attendance.

For families outside Los Angeles or with smaller budgets, my online IEP workshops and downloadable guides offer more affordable ways to learn the same advocacy skills.

Most parents come to me because they feel unheard at the IEP table, they don't understand the reports or services being offered, or they suspect their child isn't getting what they need.

An advocate brings experience, training, and an outside perspective. I help you ask for the right services, make sure the school is meeting its legal obligations, and feel confident in the decisions you make for your child.

For most families, yes! A good IEP advocate saves you time, reduces stress, and helps your child get the support they're legally entitled to.

The IEP process is complex, and small mistakes can cost your child years of progress.

I bring 20+ years of experience as a school psychologist to every case, which means I understand both the legal framework and how schools actually make decisions.

An IEP advocate helps you navigate the IEP and 504 process collaboratively, preparing for meetings, communicating with the school, and helping you secure services through the standard process.

A special education attorney represents you in formal legal proceedings, such as due process hearings or lawsuits. Most families don't need an attorney; they need an experienced advocate at the table.

If your situation requires legal action, I can refer you to a trusted attorney.

My 1:1 advocacy services are focused on the greater Los Angeles area, with meeting attendance in-person or virtual.

Families outside Los Angeles can still work with me through my online IEP workshops and downloadable guides and templates, which are available to parents anywhere in the United States.

I start every engagement with a thorough review of your child's records, then we meet to talk through your concerns and the path forward.

From there, I prepare you for every meeting, attend with you (in-person or virtually), and walk you through every document the school provides.

You'll have unlimited talk, text, and email support throughout the process, so you're never alone when something comes up.
