Parents typically seek advocacy when a student isn't making expected progress, communication with the school has become strained, there are concerns about whether the district is following IDEA or ADA guidelines, your child's IEP or 504 plan isn't being implemented properly, or when your input as a paretn isn't being considered in decision-making.
