SERVICES - EDUCATIONAL ADVOCACY

AHRC offers educational advocacy services to individuals of school age with developmental disabilities who are experiencing difficulty accessing services or have problems with the services being provided. The Educational Advocate will provide assistance with reviewing evaluations, securing additional evaluations, developing strategies to utilize when accessing needed services, explaining rights and negotiating systems.  The Advocacy Office conducts trainings for parents and professionals.  Where necessary, the Advocate will also attend CPSE & CSE meetings and Impartial Hearings with city and state agencies.  Although the primary focus of the Advocate is education, assistance with accessing other needed services available through city, state, and federal agencies is also provided.  Download Education Advocacy Brochure
