At Ocean Education Advocacy, we
believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach
his/her potential. We work with families of children
with special educational needs to help them navigate the
laws and regulations of Special Education. We also
work with young adults to help guide them through
transitioning into independent living.
Ocean Education
Advocacy was founded to work with
parents/families who have children/adults with special
educational needs. Navigating the educational system
is extremely confusing and intimidating.
Working with an advocate helps families level the
playing field and feel more confident in
achieving their child's or family member's needs.
Although there are no State or Federal licensing
guidelines and/or ethics standards for Special Education
Advocates, Ocean Education
Advocacy is committed to providing
complete, comprehensive services, while maintaining
confidentiality. Our clients' needs are of
utmost concern, and your case will be handled with
due-diligence. From your first contact to your
final IEP meeting, our advocates will walk you throught he
maze of laws, regulations and tactics you will meet along
your child's educational journey.
Having walked this
path many times with our own children, we understand the
emotions that obstruct a parent's path. We assure you
that we are here as a sounding board and facilitator
of your child's right to an appropriate education.
