Amarillo Special Education Advocates specializes in proactive, preventative care for your child’s education.
Your child’s education shapes their lifelong success—it’s far too important to leave to chance. The complex world of special education can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and confusing. That’s why partnering with a dedicated advocate isn’t just affordable—it’s essential.
We help you confidently navigate the system, prevent problems before they start, and secure the services your child needs to thrive. From the very beginning, we work to ensure your child not only receives appropriate support but has every opportunity to accelerate forward.
Each of our packages is designed to be affordable—especially considering the difference they can make in your child’s education and future success.
Think of advocacy as insurance for your child’s education: it protects their rights, ensures a truly individualized plan, and gives you peace of mind that nothing is left to chance.
Empowering families to safeguard their child’s education—before, during, and after challenges arise.
How I Can Support You and Your Child
Preventative Care Advocacy Package
Regular and ongoing IEP Wellness Checks to ensure your child’s educational plan is healthy, compliant, and effective.
Just like preventative health care keeps your family thriving, this package is designed to catch issues early, prevent problems, and ensure your child’s supports stay strong all year.
Emergency Response Advocacy Package
When your child is in crisis, you don’t have time to wait weeks for help. Our Emergency Response Advocacy Package is like the ER for your child’s education—providing immediate, intensive support when serious issues arise.
When your child’s education is on the line, you deserve experienced guidance and immediate action. We are here to protect your child’s rights and help you navigate every step—without delay.
Restorative Care Advocacy Package
When your child’s education has been harmed by ongoing issues—like denied services, repeated violations, or chronic noncompliance—restorative care is essential. This package provides intensive, expert support to formally address and correct long-standing problems.
Just as extended health issues require a comprehensive treatment plan, our restorative advocacy works to repair the damage, recover lost services, and ensure your child’s educational path is back on track.
