EAA in Your Corner
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
Our consulting services for your family can look like reviewing your child's records and evaluations, preparing you for an upcoming meeting, attending the IEP or 504 meeting itself, drafting correspondence to the school, or stepping in to mediate a tough conversation — whatever your family's situation calls for.
You're Not Imagining It
If you're the parent or caregiver of a child (age 3–22) with a disability, learning difference, or behavioral need, you may feel overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure whether your child's IEP or 504 Plan is right or even being followed. Many families in this position don't yet know what the school is required to do, what their rights are, or what to ask for. And every extra month without the right support risks your child falling further behind.
We're the Team Beside You, Not Against the School
One of the biggest hesitations parents bring to us is the fear that hiring an advocate will upset the school or make things worse. Our approach is collaborative, not adversarial. The goal isn't conflict. It's helping you become an informed, confident member of your child's educational team, while making sure the school is held accountable when it matters.

Yes. Education Advocates of America supports families through Manifestation Determination Reviews (MDRs) — the meeting held when a student with a disability faces suspension, expulsion, or another change of placement due to discipline. We help you understand your rights, prepare for the meeting, and attend alongside you so the right questions get asked.
This can include:
Reviewing your child's IEP or 504 Plan, behavioral data, evaluations, and disciplinary records
Helping you understand your rights and what to expect going into the meeting
Attending the MDR meeting to advocate alongside you
We help make sure the team properly considers whether the behavior was caused by — or directly related to — your child's disability, or resulted from the school's failure to implement the IEP.
