College Accommodations

What happens to an IEP or Section 504 plan when your student transitions to community college or a four-year program? How does your student obtain needed accommodations at the postsecondary level? Our skilled educational advocates will evaluate the accommodations the colleges are most likely to approve and walk you through the steps to obtain those accommodations.

What our Clients are Saying

"We are so grateful for you. It's been a stressful time for us. We've appreciated your guidance and support through the process and have enjoyed working with you. We will definitely be back in touch in the fall as we move forward"

– Todd

"I just wanted to express my thanks to you for managing this process for us. It has been a very stressful time and it has meant a lot to have you on our team to guide us through the steps to getting my son's IEP. When I contacted you, an IEP for our son wasn't even on my radar! I thought for sure we were going to need to find a different school situation for my son. We just didn't know what we didn't know!"

– Jody

"Thank you very much for your outstanding help! I really appreciate your expertise and kind support!"

– Maria I.

"In our last meeting with the district, we were able to accomplished a lot. We got almost everything we asked for thanks to your help. Our daughter now has a great support group at school helping her navigate the rest of the school year. Thankfully, she is doing much better not only academically but also with her relationships and anxiety. Thank you so much again for all your work and helping us get an IEP for our daughter. It had made a great change in our lives!"

– Laura

"We feel so blessed that you have our daughter's back."

–  Maria

"Thank you so much we would be so lost without your support and help. We appreciate all your time!"

– Staci

"Thank you for your guidance, Nicole. Although this goes without saying, I'm going to say it anyway. We couldn't have done it without you and we're grateful for all that you've done for our family."

– Heather

"Can I just say I think you are amazing and I am so happy you are involved and helping."

– Bob

"We wanted to take the time to thank you for all your efforts on our family's behalf. We have often discussed that we are unprepared to navigate this situation on our own. Your guidance and ability to get the attention of the district has completely changed the level of discussion and engagement by the district and the outcomes/services for our child. Thank you, again."

– Joe

"I would recommend you to any parent who need advocacy services. I can tell a BIG difference after we had you represent us. Thank you!"

– Ying

“Nicole (Our Education Advocate) has helped my family tremendously to navigate the IEP process with both of my step-children. Both are / were challenging cases and the resources she opened up, the flexibility across the District, and contacts that she fought to connect us with have made this experience, at least, slightly easier and, certainly, more successful. Her passion for the kids is limitless and I know that her time and effort in the industry has given her particularly strong contacts. We could not have gotten what our kids need without her.”

– David

“Working with Nicole and AdvocacySD was amazing! They helped us navigate what was a very difficult IEP in a timely and professional manner getting our son everything he needed.”

– Melissa

"Nicole was extremely helpful in assisting us with the IEP process. I highly recommend her services to anyone navigating an IEP for the first time. Her knowledge and assistance were just what we needed when we didn’t know how to proceed in dealing with the school."

– Alicia

"Nicole helped us to determine that an RTC was the best option for our daughter. She had contacts at the RTCs that we were considering and some others. Nicole was very responsive and a great listener. I felt more assured taking this route after our conversations, which helped keep me on the same page with my husband, which was critical when taking such a significant step. Our daughter is doing well at the RTC and I know this was the best path forward."

– Candace

"My husband found AdvocacySD by a Google search and after speaking to Nicole for about 10 minutes I didn't bother reaching out to anyone else. My son was getting all F's and the school was making the most minor changes to correct it. They were not helping at all. The 1st email that AdvocacySD sent to his school listed off at least 10 things that they were doing wrong. Within a matter of months his IEP was completely modified. It was a great learning experience with a positive outcome working with this company."

– Heather

"Advocacy SD did a great job in battling for my son to get the special education services that he qualified for. Advocacy SD had the school district conduct assessments on my son to get him the accommodations that he needed to be successful and fought diligently to construct an IEP that my son can use to continue his educational pursuits post High School graduation. My son and I highly recommend Advocacy SD!"

– Paul

"Nicole was the best Special Education advocate my son ever had. She was direct, fierce and effective in getting the school district to admit they were violating my son's IEP. Her skills and abilities were able to get my son compensation for services the school never provided to him. I only wish I hired Nicole during the Elementary School years, because my son would have had services the school refused to provide during that time period. My son graduated from High School two days ago and I am so grateful that he had Nicole fighting for him until the very end. Her work ethic and effectiveness were very impressive. I highly recommend her to parents that struggling with their children's needs not being met."
