[quote=Anonymous]We have used an advocate twice in the past 8 years. The first time it helped, however she retired and left the area. The second time we went with a highly regarded one and it was an unmitigated disaster. Never again. Both times tension climbed even higher. IME, with FCPS FAPE is the ceiling and you have to fight for the things you want. You have to be the one who suggests tings, they never ever do. You have to do the homework and figure out what needs to be done and then advocate for that and supplement more at home anf with tutors. Become the expert on your child, no one else will, even the advocate. The more complex and unusual the more this is important. wrightslaw.com is your ally. [/quote]
