How do I Advocate for My Child?

Advocating for your child is essential when navigating services through schools and insurance companies. As a parent or caregiver, you know your child best, and your voice plays a crucial role in ensuring they receive the support they need. Whether it’s securing appropriate accommodations and individualized education plans (IEPs) in school settings or gaining access to therapy services through insurance, being informed and persistent can make a significant difference in your child’s progress and well-being. Understanding your rights, asking questions, and staying involved in the decision-making process empowers you to be the strongest advocate for your child’s success both academically and developmentally.
