So you want to be an advocate...

  • What do you need to learn?
  • What skills do you need to acquire?

Parents who are knowledgeable about their children’s rights (and their own rights and responsibilities) and know how to use tactics and strategies are far more likely to succeed when they negotiate for special education services.

Read everything you can find about special education, disabilities, and how children learn.

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you'll find recommended reading selections for every advocate. If you follow the book a month plan, you'll have the necessary knowledge and skills to be an effective advocate before the year is out.

Please don't hesitate to forward this issue to other families, friends, and colleagues.
