Would you like to become an advocate for children with special needs?

Many people don't realize there is currently no certification process for advocates. But there is good training available. And you do need to understand the process and the regulations to be an effective advocate.

Wrightslaw offers some of the best training around on this topic. Recently they devoted an entire issue of their newsletter to advocate training. You can check it out here.

In Oklahoma another option is to complete the training offered by the Oklahoma Parents Center and become a Community IEP Partner. Click here to learn more about this program at the OPC website.
