Back to school after winter break can feel like the first day of school all over again for students and teachers alike! ❄️ As you send your student back this week, here are 5 tips to help everyone start the new semester with confidence:

✔Revisit Routines & Expectations ⏰ After a few weeks of holiday fun, it helps to restate expectations just like you did in August. Remind your student what to expect, prioritize an early bedtime, and fuel up with a good breakfast to start 2026 strong!

✔Check In with Teachers 🍎 If your child has a new schedule, take a moment to introduce yourself (we have a FREE letter template on our website to make this easy!). Since a lot can happen over break, be sure to share any updates or changes with your child’s teacher to help the transition go smoothly.

✔Prep for IEP/504 Meetings 📅 If your child’s annual meeting hasn’t happened yet this school year, now is the perfect time to check your documentation. Mark your calendar with expected due dates so you feel prepared. Not sure when the meeting is? Just reach out to your child's teacher or case manager and ask!

✔Lead with Grace ❤️ It is completely normal for the return to school to feel emotional or even cause some anxiety after the holidays. Continue to support your student through this transition and recognize that it may take a few days for them to fully adjust.

✔Reach Out for Support 🤝 If last semester was a struggle, or you feel like your child isn’t on the right track, Exceptional Advocacy Services is here to help. We offer FREE consultations to support you and your child’s educational journey.

AI can be a helpful tool—but it is NOT a special education advocate.

More and more parents are turning to AI and Google to understand IEPs, special education law, and their child’s rights. While information is empowering, generalized answers can be misleading, incomplete, or flat-out wrong when applied to an individual child.

Special education is nuanced.
✔ State laws differ
✔ Case law matters
✔ District policies matter
✔ Your child’s data matters

AI can’t evaluate your child’s records, interpret school data, or apply the law strategically to your situation.

That’s where advocacy comes in.

At Exceptional Advocacy Services, we help parents:
• Translate confusing educational & legal language
• Apply the law correctly to their child
• Keep expectations realistic while holding schools accountable
• Organize records & documentation
• Understand evaluation data & progress reports
• File appropriate complaints when necessary
• Build productive relationships with schools

Information is power—but strategy is protection.

Human Rights Day is observed annually around the world on December 10th. It commemorates the anniversary of one of the world's most groundbreaking global pledges: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

Human rights are essential and we all play a part by treating others with respect, speaking up against unfairness, and listening to those whose voices are often ignored.

December 3rd is observed as International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The declaration to celebrate the day annually was made by the United Nations General Assembly in 1992.

Did you know that an estimated 1.3 billion people experience significant disability? This represents 16% of the world’s population, or 1 in 6 of us. Yet, many persons with disabilities still face social inequities such as stigma, discrimination, poverty, exclusion from education and employment, and barriers in the health system itself.

At EAS we strive to create a more inclusive, just, and equitable world for all those persons with disabilities. Today and everyday.

Your child's IEP services are a TREASURE MAP to success! 🧭

Feeling lost in the special education process?

The "services section" of your child's IEP details the specific support your child receives, who provides those services, how often, and where.

✔️Alignment is Key: Services MUST match IEP goals.
✔️Know the Details: Understand the Location, Provider, Frequency, and Duration of every service.
✔️Data-Driven: Changes to services should always be supported by data, not scheduling convenience.
✔️Your Voice Matters: Insist on a formal IEP meeting if you're unsure about any proposed changes!
