When we focus on the student as a whole, they thrive.
Our Purpose
Edvocators is a non-attorney advocacy, coaching, and consulting practice dedicated to secondary students and student-athletes with an Individualized Education Program (IEP), Section 504 plan, or those who may be at academic risk. We champion inclusive education, working to ensure every eligible student receives a Free Appropriate Public Education within the least restrictive environment.
Beyond navigating school systems, we build student capacity through direct Executive Function coaching utilizing methodologies from the Rush Neurobehavioral Center. Supported by experts across school psychology, academic achievement, and college and career readiness, we empower students to navigate complex systems, build executive skills, and achieve independence in school and life.
Our Perspective
Our experience in 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 education 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.
