LARC Advocacy collaborates with parents, students, and teachers to support diverse learners and their families in navigating the special education system.
No one should feel alone in this journey and we are here for you every step of the way.
We offer a free 40-minute consultation to discuss your child's individual needs, answer any question you may have regarding the special education process, and if applicable, conduct a brief IEP review. After this initial session, together we can determine the best path forward to support you and your child in their special education journey.
We are available on an hourly basis to support you and your child in all aspects of the special education process. This includes, but is not limited to, starting the IEP process with your school, working with you to finalize the optimal IEP for your child; attending IEP meetings with you; holding schools accountable for IEP process compliance; managing difficult school administration; ensuring alignment of classroom activities and related services with your child's IEP mandates; and more.
We offer comprehensive services that include in-depth evaluation of your child's IEP and academic record, identification of optimal academic/social/emotional goals, attendance at IEP and other critical meetings as your parent advocate, and continued consultation with your family and your child's academic team regarding strategies to align classroom activities with your child's needs and goals throughout the school year.
Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
A special education advocate is a professional who helps parents/guardians of children with special needs navigate the complex process of obtaining and maintaining special education services.
Your advocate will work to ensure that your child's educational needs are met appropriately and their rights are upheld. A special education advocate may assist with everything from explaining your child's rights under the law to attending meetings with school officials and even negotiating for necessary accommodations and services for your child.
While we can help at any point in your child's educational journey, it is best to reach out as soon as you are aware that your child needs Special Education services or you realize there is an issue in compliance with your child's services.
LARC Parent Advocacy Group stands out in the special education industry because we take a personalized approach to each individual's needs and goals, tailoring our services to meet both the child's and family's specific preferences and personal situations.
LARC staff members have advanced degrees in special education as well as extensive experience working with students with special needs, their teachers, administration, and other staff.
Though we partner with Attorneys as needed, we do not offer legal advice or legal services. The information we provide does not, and is not intended to, constitute legal advice; instead, all information, content, and materials available are for general informational purposes only. Our goal is to provide information to help you understand the special education process, the procedures in place, and to assist you in non-attorney advocacy within these guidelines for your child. While we hope to help you navigate the process of IEP and 504 Plans, we cannot guarantee any specific outcome. All advocacy decisions are your own.
