  Maureen J. asked:

  Does anyone have info on a school placement advocate? (not sure what to call it) I have a client who wants to explore challenging his 7 year old child's placement in a Behavioral Boarding school. I really don't know much about it but I know there are advocates who work with parents under these circumstances. He has minimal resources. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!!

  Message from a follower: (If you want to respond anonymously, we can post for you. Just message us privately) I am looking for parents who have used an advocate for their child in an IEP meeting, specifically regarding ASD. Can you please talk about your experience, which advocate you used and how you found them?

  

  Julie L. replied:

  Both my sons have IEPs! We never used an advocate but I was told about the group called SPAN! http://www.spanadvocacy.org/

  Connect with the NJ Statewide Parent Advocacy Network at 800-654-7726 and ask for their referral list for attorneys and advocates. Be sure to interview any prospects specifically asking them for their knowledge of dyslexia related issues. We encourage other parents to comment with their personal recommendations.

  Does anyone have any tips or information they can provide me for my meeting with the school to request a 504 for my 4th grader? It's been an uphill battle with this school since 1st grade. Also does anyone have a good advocate they can recommend in the Hunterdon County area? Thank you
