Frequently Asked Questions

When should I hire an IEP advocate?
Consider an advocate if you're feeling overwhelmed, disagreeing with the school, or your child isn't making progress with current services.
What's the difference between an advocate and attorney?
Advocates help at IEP meetings and negotiations but cannot represent you in due process hearings. Attorneys can represent you in legal proceedings.
Can the school refuse to let my advocate attend?
No. Federal law (IDEA) gives you the right to bring anyone to IEP meetings, including advocates.
How much does an IEP advocate cost?
Typically $100-300 per hour. Some charge flat rates for IEP meetings. Many offer free initial consultations.
