Before You Begin

To provide targeted support, we need to understand what has already happened, not just what is happening right now.

This intake form will ask you to provide a detailed written explanation of your concerns and upload the educational records that will help us understand your child's situation.

Please have these documents available, if applicable:

Your child's current IEP
Most recent evaluation or reevaluation
Progress reports or progress-monitoring data
FBA and/or BIP, if behavior is a concern
Relevant Prior Written Notices (PWNs)
Important emails or school correspondence
Relevant disciplinary or behavioral records
Other documents directly related to your concern
Don't have everything listed?
That's okay. Please provide the records you currently have and explain in the intake form what you believe may be missing.

Why Do I Need the Documents First?

Special education advocacy is highly individualized.

Two families may appear to be experiencing the same problem but have very different options depending on what your child's IEP says, what evaluations and data show, what the school has already proposed or refused, and what has been documented in writing.

Reviewing your information first allows me to spend our time discussing your child's specific situation and possible next steps, rather than trying to reconstruct the history during a phone call.

Please Note:

I do not schedule initial phone calls, virtual meetings, or consultations before receiving the completed intake form and relevant documents.

Please provide as much information as possible in the written portion of the form. The more complete the information you provide, the better I can understand your concerns before determining the appropriate next step.

A Few Important Things to Know

Advocacy support is not legal representation.
Wise Advocacy Group provides special education advocacy, information, and parent support. Advocacy services are not a substitute for representation or advice from a licensed attorney.
Submitting an intake form does not guarantee advocacy services.
Submission of the intake form does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not guarantee that I will be able to take your case, attend an IEP meeting, or provide ongoing advocacy support.
Services are provided at no cost to families, and availability is limited.
Priority may be given to situations involving significant concerns such as a child being denied access to school, loss of educational services, serious behavioral or safety concerns, disciplinary removals, or other time-sensitive special education issues.
