Upcountry Advocate
Non-Attorney Special Education IEP Advocates
We Believe:
-
All students are capable of learning and should be given the freedom and support to do so.
-
We recognize and validate the experiences, identities, and perspectives of neurodivergent individuals.
-
By embracing neurodiversity, we can create a world that is more accepting and supportive of individuals with neurological differences.
We Offer:
-
​​​Presumed competence. A disability isn't an indication of one's intelligence or ability.
-
Empathetic understanding of the IEP process and support through all phases (including the navigation of Early Intervention).
-
A liaison to help you in meetings when acronyms are flying and making things very confusing.
-
Encouraging and honest support for a path that can make you feel alone and unsure.
