At Advocating for You we offer our expertise in the following areas:
Individualized Education Plans (IEPs):
For parents of children with special education needs, we offer consultation and support in attending meetings with school officials. We meet with parents in advance to plan for the upcoming school meeting, gaining an understanding of the child’s background. Sometimes it can be hard for parents to speak out when they are in an emotional state regarding their child. Advocating for You is that third party support that can speak up in a way that will get your feelings heard. We are familiar with the special education system, and will get your needs heard in a kind and professional manner.
Medical Advocacy:
Advocating for You uses our experience in the medical industry to help those who may not be able to help themselves. We know how to work with medical professionals, while providing support and assertive communication for your loved one. This is especially helpful when family members do not live close to the one in need. We assist in contacting the medical team in the hospital, working through the medical research for suggestions on alternative care. This can be an emotional time, so it helps to have a liaison or intermediary to assist in understanding medical records and dealing with hospital staff.
Grant Writing:
Writing grants for your non-profit can be daunting and time consuming. Advocating for You offers grant writing services for your non-profit. Let us use our experience with the grant writing process to support your non-profit in its money raising goals.
