[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

I am looking for recommendations for an educational advocate. I am particularly looking for an advocate with experience in Virginia and Arlington County Schools particularly but welcome any that you can highly recommend. Any leads will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! [/quote]

I think if you do a search you might find a few mentioned on this site. Amy Mounce is one, I think. There's also an attorney who has some consultants in house - Belkowitz Law[/quote]

We used Amy Mounce but it was a long time ago so maybe she has improved a lot. We found she wasn’t aggressive enough. I didn’t want her to fight with staff as we wanted a good working relationship but it felt like she just accepted any excuse the team provided. When there were issues with the IEP not being followed and I wanted her to help, she wasn’t willing. This is not to say she was a complete waste though. She taught me quite a bit about being prepared for meetings, recording and documentation and we found her pleasant. I do wish we had hired someone who was more aggressive though.  [/quote]
