Educational Advocacy

Educational advocacy is available for adoptive and guardianship families. This program provides access to an Educational Advisor, and Educational Assistant and a Volunteer Educational Advocate to assist you in working with the schools. The Educational Advisor is an individual who has expertise and experience in educational and early intervention matters, and will determine, along with you, who should be assigned in educational and early intervention matters, and will determine, along with you, who should be assigned to address your needs. To obtain additional information or assistance with any educational issue, contact the Regional Educational Advisor's Office serving the region where your child attends school.
