Ongoing Advocacy

Price: $100/hour

For families who want someone to handle everything. 

​

If you don't know where to start, don't have time to figure it out, or just want someone in your corner handling everything this is for you.

​

Comprehensive, ongoing advocacy support. Special education isn't a process with a single endpoint, it spans referral, evaluation, eligibility, IEP development, and everything after.

Your retainer includes:

• Attendance at IEP, 504, eligibility, and school meetings

• Review of evaluations, IEP documents, 504 plans, report cards, and progress reports

• Drafting emails and letters to the school (I write, you send)

• Drafting referral letters and parent input for eligibility and IEP meetings

• Strategy calls before meetings and consultations after

• Explaining evaluation data, scores, and what they mean

• Guidance through referral, evaluation, eligibility, and IEP development

• Requesting records and independent educational evaluations (IEEs)

• Tracking procedural deadlines and notice requirements

• Explaining parent rights and procedural safeguards

• Support through annual reviews, reevaluations, and amendments

• Availability when questions come up between meetings

Retainer: $500 initial retainer, billed at $100/hr in 15-minute increments. Once the balance reaches $150, an invoice is sent to replenish the retainer to $500.

Travel: Meetings within a 45-minute drive of Merrimack, NH are included at no additional charge. For meetings farther away, travel time beyond the first 45 minutes is billed at my hourly rate in 15-minute increments.
