Advocacy

When it feels like the system won’t listen, we help you speak louder.

School pushback, confusing policies, and constant re-explaining — our Advocacy program pairs you with experienced Special Education advocates who know how to navigate the process.

Impact Snapshot

Our three children are wonderful and bright and witty — they get that from me. They’re artistic, and like most team guys, incredibly sarcastic and brutally honest. All three have an impressive spread of learning differences including dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia, selective mutism, autism spectrum disorder and all three have anxiety
and ADHD – all compounded by years of peripheral trauma from being the child of an operator, COVID and their mom having cancer. Children of Valor sees how amazing my kids are, they meet them where it’s needed, and they will not let these kids be defined by their challenges. My family and I are incredibly grateful.
