Parents helping Parents is an amazing non-profit that fights for services/ support for special education students in grades 1 -12 in the public school system. Their goal is to help children reach their full potential in school and as adults in the workforce.
They offer parents assistance, referrals to independent advocates, social assistance referrals, and referrals with the juvenile justice system caseworkers & probation officers.
I was fortunate enough to work in all areas. In addition, primarily advocated for my son's
legal rights on my own until the last several months before the record-breaking case win. Which ended with my son, and self, an excellent attorney, and a private education consultant /speech therapist victory.
We tipped the scale of justice after many years of attempting to get proper various education evaluations and respectable education for my little man.
My work with you Parents helping Parents and S.C.C. Juvenile Justice Department has taught me valuable information on how to pursue a career in my own private advocate company for my son's past education goals, and other parents in the Bay Area, SLO County, and Oregon.
I was grateful to set a legal precedent for my son and a legal ruling to offer dyslexia students the Lindamood-Bell instructions in San Jose Unified School District.
I can explain how the local, state, and federal regulations work, proficiency of various IEP laws, how to ask for a private medical and educational evaluation as the school districts cost, and ask for Meditation and Due Processing Hearings with proof of services for the court, when necessary.
While helping you find an education attorney throughout California, if necessary.
The Disability Rights Of California has been an excellent resource that works with me too.
Overall your non-profit has helped many children and their families, by empowering them and encouraging the parents/family/foster families to get involved in their children's education and most important learning their legal educational rights.
Advocate, Kim Chaffee
