What Can You Expect?
Advocacy services are tailored to your needs and desired level of assistance. Our three levels or advocacy are:

Not sure you’re ready for full advocacy services? This is the most basic level of support. We do a full review of your child’s educational records and follow up with individualized recommendations.
Direct Advocacy
Our most robust support services. We attend IEP or 504 meetings, facilitate communication between the school, and provide ongoing consultation services as your child’s needs evolve.
Indirect Advocacy
We provide you with coaching and communication services as you take the lead on advocating for your child. Verdance Advocacy recommends Indirect Advocacy in limited circumstances.
The Advocate
Hi, I’m Michele
I’ve been in your shoes. Navigating the special education process is overwhelming. I know that you feel like you’re your child’s case manager, teacher, and therapist when all you want to be is their parent. I’m here to help you carry the weight. You do not have to figure this out on your own.
