We engage in advocacy that seeks to protect children's educational rights in any state.
Why is Advocacy Important?
Being an advocate is about speaking up on behalf of your child — asking questions, raising concerns, asking for help — and teaching them to speak up, too. Doing those things can be uncomfortable for some parents and caregivers, for many different reasons. - Understood.org
