Work through the process
Your advocate helps you prepare for meetings, clarify what you're asking for, and stay on track. When the case calls for it, work with an attorney we trust. Always your call.
What an advocate does
Preparation, organization, and presence.
An educational advocate helps you prepare for and take part in the IEP process — organizing your records, clarifying what you're asking for, and coming to meetings with you. Advocates are not attorneys and do not give legal advice.
How it worksTwo states. One mission.
Right now, IEPTeam serves California and Hawaii.
California
Big state. Big variation.
Every district plays by its own house rules. We help you read the room — Los Angeles, Bay Area, Orange County, Central Valley — and find an advocate who knows yours.

Hawaii
One DOE. Statewide rules.
Hawaii's special education system is unique — a single statewide department, federal due process, and the precedent set by Doug C. v. Hawaii DOE. Our roots are here.

Sometimes you need an attorney. We'll tell you when.
Most IEP problems get solved at the table, not in court. But when a district refuses to budge — denial of FAPE, manifestation disputes, due process — you'll want a lawyer who has been there. We work with attorneys we trust in California and Hawaii.
