Live Chats: An Exclusive Opportunity to meet with Attorneys and other IEP Professionals


But that's not all. We also offer Live Chats, where you can interact directly with fellow advocates. Most advocates tell us that this is their favorite part of the program. Let's face it--working from home as an advocate can be isolating. But, with our weekly chats, you get to interact and have your own colleagues and support network.


And, since 2023: We are bringing in special education attorneys to help us "level up" our IEP knowledge. They'll explain current issues, newest case law decisions and more.
