Parent Consultation Services
Parent consultation services put our knowledge and expertise your corner without triggering some of the defensive behavior that some school agencies have when professional advocates become directly involved. If the issues you are facing are not terribly complicated, we can walk you through the process and your local education agency will have the opportunity to respond to you as an informed and knowledgeable parent, making you the primary person they answer to rather than a paid representative.
Parent consultation services are, in a way, an enhanced version of parent training. We use your child's case to give you "hands on" experience with clearing the roadblocks that are preventing your child from receiving an appropriate education. Parent consultation services are provided separately or in conjunction with our lay advocacy representation services. In the event that your local education agency fails to respond appropriately to your efforts, we can always step in as designated representatives at your discretion.
Parent consultation services are provided on a for-hire basis. As with all parent and student services, because we are a non-profit organization, our hourly rate of $125 is based on what is necessary to cover our costs of operation with no mark-up for profit. We also offer sliding scale rates and affordable monthly payment plans to qualifying families.
Parent consultation services involve our professional advocates working behind the scenes with parents to assist them in advocating for their children themselves. Rather than give notice of representation to their public education agencies, we remain out of sight, assisting parents with drafting their own correspondence and making decisions on how to respond to different developments as they occur.
