When we focus on the student as a whole, they thrive.
Our Purpose
At Edvocators, we specialize in assisting students in secondary education with mild/moderate disabilities. A core principle of our work is ensuring students receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) within the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). We are committed to fostering inclusive educational settings where students with disabilities can thrive alongside their peers. We have a specialized understanding of the unique challenges and needs of student-athletes with disabilities. Edvocators utilizes experts in the areas of academic achievement, career and college readiness, and school psychology. We are a non-attorney advocacy and consulting group.
Our Perspective
Our experience in special education has shown that the best outcomes happen when schools and families work together as partners. This collaboration is at the heart of our mission. We believe that when IEP teams take a whole-child approach, looking not just at academics but also at social and emotional growth and future goals, students are better prepared for success in school and beyond. By focusing on your child’s strengths and aspirations, while also supporting their unique needs, we honor who they are as a learner and as a person.
