Pro Bono Advocacy

Every child deserves a strong advocate, regardless of their family's financial situation. A limited number of pro bono cases are accepted each year for families facing financial hardship.

Who This Is For

  • Families experiencing financial hardship who cannot otherwise afford advocacy support.
  • Children whose IEP, 504, or eligibility process has stalled and needs experienced eyes.
  • Single-parent households, foster and kinship caregivers, and grandparents raising grandchildren.
  • Families navigating significant life transitions — job loss, medical crisis, housing instability.
Pro bono spots are limited and reviewed on a rolling basis. If selected, services may include document review, meeting attendance, letter drafting, and general guidance — matched to your child's most pressing need.

You're not alone

I finally understood what my daughter's IEP actually said. I walked into that meeting knowing exactly what to ask for — and I got it.
