Florida Professional Special Education Advocates
Through passionate advocacy, personalized guidance, and collaborative partnerships, we strive to create a more equitable and empowered educational journey for every student we serve.
Who We Are
You know your child best, but when you try to advocate for your child you don’t feel you are heard. Schools are charged with providing education to many diverse students and develop “programs” to serve students. Often the needs of the individual child are overlooked. At Florida Professional Special Education Advocates we are trained professionals skilled at translating your concerns into an education plan that meets your child’s individual needs.
We are also parents of children with a disability with a unique perspective on the importance of the role of a parent in school team meetings.

What Sets Florida Professional Special Education Advocates Apart?
- All our advocates have extensive training and a solid background in the provision of special education services and support to students with disabilities.
- We are also all parents of a student with a disability. We know what it is like to attend an IEP or 504 meetings without support.
- Whenever possible we take a collaborative approach with schools and families so they can continue to work together in the best interest of the student.
