[quote=Anonymous]Be careful hiring a so called advocate. Anyone can call themselves an advocate and go into business. There's not an official qualifying body or certification to be an advocate. Our advocate didn't know the law so she didn't know how to advise us on protecting our kid's rights. If we had listened to her, we would have lost our kid's IEP. Thankfully I had enough sense to double check her advice, and learned it was wrong. So we dropped the advocate and hired a special ed lawyer instead. What a difference! Don't waste your time with an advocate unless they have specific expertise in your child's area of need or something like that. And even then be very careful. Non lawyers just don't know the law, as we learned the hard way, and they can do real damage. Hire an attorney instead. [/quote]
