Advocacy Services
Our Mission
To empower families with the knowledge, preparation and professional support necessary to participate meaningfully in educational decisions and advocate effectively for appropriate services for their children.
Our Approach
Collaborative when possible.
Data-driven always.
Student-centered throughout.
Advocacy Services Include:
● IEP and educational-record review
● IEP meeting preparation and attendance
● Student observations
● Evaluation and progress-data review
● Goal and accommodation recommendations
● Parent concern development
● IEP implementation and progress review
● Parent-school communication support
● Ongoing advocacy
How we can help
Families navigating special education often receive extensive evaluations, IEPs, progress reports, assessments and school communications without having the background necessary to understand how the information connects.
Parents may need help determining:
● Whether an IEP addresses the student’s needs
● Whether goals are measurable
● Whether accommodations are appropriate
● Whether services appear to be implemented
● Whether the student is making meaningful progress
● What data and documents should be reviewed
● What questions to ask during an IEP meeting
● When to request additional evaluation
● When a matter requires an attorney rather than an educational advocate
SP Tutor can fill this gap by combining special education knowledge, teaching experience, case-management experience, educational data analysis and parent support.
*SP Tutor provides educational advocacy analysis, not a legal opinion or legal compliance determination.
