Dyslexia Advocacy Services
Serving Families of Students with Dyslexia in Three Ways
1. Our Comprehensive Advocacy Package
The "Don't Go It Alone" advocacy package relieves parents of the burden of being special education and dyslexia experts. Our certified dyslexia advocate Lorraine Hightower and her team take the wheel to ensure your child gets the education they need. We take care of everything, from requesting an evaluation from the school to attending school meetings and ensuring appropriate services and accommodations are put in place. You can rest assured that your child's education is in the care of professionals who put your child's needs first.
Take a look at our FAQs, then let's talk to learn if working with us is right for your family.
Our client Joseph explains our comprehensive approach and the difference it makes!
"She took a holistic approach, interviewing us about our son in-depth, reviewing samples of his previous school work, and reviewing the previous evaluation we had done. We had pre-planning meetings before we met with the school to develop in detail what our plan was and exactly what outcomes we were looking for. When we met with the school, she took the lead and made sure the school understood our intentions. She always came prepared; impressively so.
To sum it up, we will absolutely use Lorraine in the future; we know for a fact that we wouldn't have been as successful getting our son's IEP where it needed to be without her."
