Advocacy

Our goal is to help you, as parents, navigate educational systems to obtain appropriate school services and placement options.  We provide an expert opinion about what will be best for your child’s education.  We collaborate in school meetings, advocating for our expert opinion to become a reality for your child.

I was so choked up on the phone yesterday that I couldn't even say thank you.  We are just thrilled with the outcome!  I think I've read the 4 page ruling about 20 times.  Your efforts have our son well on his way to reaching his full potential!  A heartfelt THANK YOU!

I know we are strong and loving parents; however, I don't know where we would be without you.  Thank you for lifting a huge burden off my shoulders.  Its a great feeling knowing that we are not alone in this battle.

Thanks for all of your support for both my kids over the last several years. It’s been great to have your insight and experience on our side. And appreciation is in order as well for making it financially possible for our family to access your services.

The IEP meetings can be intimidating when so many people are present.  This time, I felt like you helped facilitate my voice being heard.  I sincerely appreciate your time, concern, and preparation for the meeting.  I believe I've made the right choice with Weinfeld Education Group.

Our Process

• We speak with you to understand your concerns and goals.
• We review related educational records including assessments, previous plans (IEP/504), report cards, and communication between home and school.
• We speak with all involved professionals to gain an understanding of their perspective.
• We observe your child in school (without their knowing we are there to see them).  While at school, we speak with involved school staff to gain an understanding of their perspective.
• We meet with you to present our expert opinion, including changes that may be needed in the current program and any suggestions for alternative public and/or private programs.
• We communicate with school personnel through phone calls, written communication and/or meetings to advocate for the necessary changes in program and/or placement.

In the course of our work, we also make recommendations for any additional assessments or services that may be necessary to help your child to realize their potential.

We are available to continue to monitor the implementation of the plan that we have helped create and to make any necessary changes or updates.

Although we do not accept insurance, families may qualify for a reduced rate for our advocacy services based on a review of financial need.

Some families may qualify for funding for WEG’s work through the Low Intensity Support Service program, LISS.  Round 1 opens May 1st.
