Level Up Your Professional Special Education Advocacy

Dear Aspiring Advocates and Education Champions,

Have you ever looked at the world of special education and thought, "I could make a real difference here"? 

Perhaps you're a dedicated parent who's navigated the challenging waters of IEPs and now seeks to empower others. 

Or maybe you're a retired educator, yearning for a fulfilling "second act" that truly impacts lives.

Introducing: Level Up Advocacy from Don't IEP Alone

This isn't just another course; it's a transformative journey. If you dream of becoming a Professional Special Education Advocate—whether you aim to earn a living or simply make a meaningful impact as a volunteer—this is your blueprint.

For Working Advocates and Aspiring Change-Makers

This course is tailor-made for individuals who want to dive deep into the realm of special education advocacy as a profession. 

If you're already an advocate, it's your opportunity to fine-tune your skills and grow your advocacy practice. If you're a parent or teacher with the desire to transition into this rewarding field, you're in the right place.

Let's talk business. This isn't just about understanding IEPs; it's about building a thriving advocacy practice. 

We delve into:

✅ Business Information: Unlock the secrets of setting up your advocacy business, from legalities to branding.

✅ Client Acquisition and Management: Discover the art of finding and maintaining clients who trust in your expertise.

✅ Fee Structures: Learn how to value your services and accept fees for the incredible value you provide.

✅ And More: We leave no stone unturned in preparing you for a successful advocacy career.

But that's not all. We also offer Live Chats, where you can interact directly with experts and 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, new in 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.

Imagine a career where you change lives for the better every single day. Imagine making a living while doing something you're passionate about, all while creating a brighter future for children with special needs. That's the world of special education advocacy, and it's waiting for you.

It's not just a career; it's a calling. Be the advocate who makes a difference. Join us now and pave the way for a brighter future.

To Your Advocacy Success,

Lisa Lightner
