In order to advocate effectively, you need to increase your knowledge and learn your childs rights in education. Familiarize yourself with these documents and links to information, as well as the Special Education Plan put out by your school board. If you can't find it on their website, ask for a copy. Parents, you should also check out the information on our Teacher page so you can be an effective member of your child's education team. Teachers need your support at home as well.
