[quote=Anonymous]OP I think it's worth it to get the IEP, but beyond that I think it's a better use of money to hire outside professionals. I think Eig is the big name in sped law who has a good track record-expensive, but likely worth it. We knew one family that used him and were very pleased and we almost used his colleague (who works in VA). Very impressed with her. If he wants an evaluation or thinks it's better suited for an advocate go with who he recommends. As mentioned, advocates are part of an unregulated field. Yes, you have teachers who do it, etc., but there is no advocate licensure, no training in advocacy ethics, no place to make a formal complaint. Several we spoke to were parents who raised kids with SN which is great, but not a qualification because there is so much variety in SN.[/quote]
