[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 466395, member: 1233"] Oh, If you contact the state board of education you can get info on advocates who will work with you to get what your son needs. Usually they are called parent advocates. Often if you use those terms instead of educational consultant you will get more results. At least we did and my friends did. Also, educational consultants often recommend residential treatment centers and can charge thousands of dollars. An advocate is usually paid by the state to help find the accommodations at the local district level and ensure that your district is following the laws. I haven't before heard of an educational consultant who woudl do this, though my experience is limited at best in thsi field. I used friends who worked in other districts and the staff of the dr's offices (psychiatrist, therapist developmental pediatrician) and my own knowledge of the law plus what I got on this forum from the archives and sp ed 101 section, so I didn't use an advocate. It may be jsut a different term for the same thing in another state. That isn't uncommon at all. [/QUOTE]
