  SPECIAL EDUCATION ADVOCACY PAGE




The special education process provides critical rights for neurologically impaired children. However, because these children are unique even among special education students, what was a complicated and intimidating process becomes exponentially more so for the families of these children. While normal ARD meetings last from 15 to 45 minutes, ARDs for these kids almost always take several hours. AFNIC attends ARDs with the parents and advocates for the rights and needs of the child. We understand the special education process, we are not intimidated, and we can bring a sense of objectivity that is hard to have when your own child is involved.


We provide advocacy services both for ARD meetings and for manifestation reviews.

Please note, however, we do not provide any legal advice. If you seek legal advice, you will need to hire an attorney.

If you would like to enquire about having us advocate for your child, please contact:

If you are in or near Dallas/Fort Worth, email ferrara54@tx.rr.com

If you are in or near Austin/San Antonio, email djpowers@swbell.net
