Special education advocate cost
Hi! A friend of mine is looking into hiring a special education advocate for her son. Does anyone have a current estimate of the cost and billing rates? My friend has considerable money so it's not a cost issue but she's weighing a few other options (such as an attorney). Thank you!

It's been a while since I hired a special education advocate for my child, so I can't give current cost information. However, I can recommend your friend look into the Parents Place at JFCS. I met with an advocate at the JFCS in Palo Alto after working with an advocate from another organization and having a truly disastrous meeting with the advocate and adminstration at my child's school. It was very hard to recover ground with the school after the advocate acted unprofessionally. The JFCS advocate was not only compassionate, but well informed and deeply skilled. https://www.jfcs.org/find-help/center-children-youth/parents-place/
