Special Ed Advocacy: How To Push The System To Provide Exactly What Your
Child Needs In Order To Be Successful In School

Fighting for services regarding SPD is always a problem (that IS changing!!) it seems.

So you need to fight, fight, fight with very specific ways in which the SPD interferes with your child's education. 

The schools are not set up to service these kids unless it significantly impacts their educational functioning.

First and foremost, you must spend a lot of time on one particular
website...

Wrights Law. It has everything you will need to know about your rights, your child's rights, how to obtain services, etc. It is awesome!



Second, I highly recommend the Ideal Lives website... for more specific information regarding disabilities and advocacy.

If you can not get the proper answers with the info, try to hook up with an advocate. I know there is a link or two on Lisa's Ideal Lives website that will help you find one in your area! What is not known, is how many advocates are specifically used to fighting for SPD kids.

Also, don't forget to personally talk to an OT about this... the first place to start, of course is an OT.

I'm An SPD Advocate... Are You? - One mother's beautiful story about being an SPD advocate for her little boy. Words of strength, wisdom, and courage.
