School Advocacy

School Advocacy

The special education laws are both complex and subject to interpretation. In spite of everyone’s best efforts sometimes a child needs a knowledgeable advocate to decide on a plan that will be in the best interests of a child. Our family advocate can help negotiate an individual educational plan that will meet your child’s needs.

Presently, School Advocacy is being conducted from The Arc of Greater New Bedford, call (508) 996-8551; and The Arc of Greater Fall River, call (508) 679-0001, for more information.  School Advocacy is generously funded by the United Way of New Bedford and the United Way of Fall River.
