First steps

qualifying
for special education

Many children coming from foster care have complex  and “unseen” needs and can qualify for special education. The first step is to request an evaluation, known as the MET. If a child qualifies for special education based on the results of the evaluation, then an Individualized Education Plan (or IEP) will be developed to meet the unique needs of this child.

Examples of things that might qualify them for special education are a diagnosis of ADHD; PTSD; dyslexia; difficulty with core subjects such as reading, writing, and math; developmental delays; speech delays; and social and emotional delays.

The first step is determining if your student needs special education services and support.

Advocating

One-on-one advocacy services are designed to support and empower you to meet the holistic needs of your child.

Our advocates know special education laws and will represent your child accordingly to his or her needs.

They will review records, meet with you and your family, attend meetings, and stay in contact with the school and district on your behalf.

Our goal is to get the appropriate evaluations and services in place to support your child.

TBRI® Training

This 2-hour training is based on the principles of Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), an evidence-based approach designed to meet the complex needs of children from hard places of abuse, neglect + trauma. The approach is based on years of attachment, sensory processing and neuroscience research with connection at its core.

Participants will gain knowledge and understanding to disarm fear and build trust in order to optimize learning and allow for improved academic and behavioral outcomes.
