Educational Advocacy & Consulting

Educational Advocacy and Consulting is an Advocacy firm composed of professionals providing identific This is where we come in. Stay tuned for more information!

At Educational Advocacy & Consulting, we understand the challenges that come with trying to secure the right school services for your child. From identification to implementation, there’s a lot to navigate — and the process can be overwhelming for parents who don’t understand the ins and outs of the school system. As an expert group of Advocates and Educational Consultants serving the Chicago and Washington DC areas, we’ll assist your family through the entire process of procuring services for your child. If your child is currently receiving services, we can also work with you to make sure that he or she is getting the appropriate services for their needs. This can be in the form of:

Receiving accommodations under section 504, designed for students who have a “physical or mental impairment” that “substantially limits one or more major life activities”

Obtaining a complete evaluation to determine if your child has a disability in need of Special Education supports and services through an IEP (Individualized Educational Plan)

When you work with EAC, we’ll conduct observations, complete a thorough review of your child’s records, refer your family to outside providers if needed, and collaborate in a cooperative manner with your child’s school team. If you are struggling to come to an agreement with your school district regarding services, we can intervene through Early Resolution, Mediation, and Formal State Complaints. In addition to our advocacy services, we’re very excited to announce that we’ll soon be opening our Dyslexia Center! Here, we’ll offer high-quality reading and writing instruction to help children successfully meet the literary standards in school and for the future. Creating the most appropriate opportunities for your child is our mission and we’re here to help with whatever you need to make that happen. Visit our website for more information or call (773-230-8320) or email us today to set up a free 30-minute consultation. We look forward to getting to know you and your child!

With a new year underway and the school year halfway through, it’s a good moment to check in on how your child is doing and whether their supports are still working as intended.

The transition back from break can surface new challenges, shifts in behavior, or signs of fatigue that are easy to miss in the rush of daily routines.

Asking a few intentional questions now can help you better understand what’s going well and where adjustments may be needed as the year continues.

And if you’re unsure how to start that conversation or what to do with what you’re noticing, we’re here to help.

01/01/2026

A new year brings new possibilities, fresh goals, and continued advocacy.

As we step into this next chapter, we remain committed to supporting families, empowering students, and helping children feel seen, understood, and supported in their learning.

Whether you’re navigating new challenges or continuing a journey you’ve already begun, we’re here to walk alongside you.

Happy New Year from all of us at Educational Advocacy & Consulting.

As this year comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the progress made alongside the families and students we serve.

From literacy milestones to professional growth and team expansion, this work is always about more than numbers...it’s about people.

Thank you for being part of the EAC story. We look forward to continuing this work together.

12/29/2025

As the year comes to a close, many parents are carrying a mix of relief, exhaustion, and hope....especially those navigating special education.

These aren’t about doing more or getting everything “right.” They’re reminders to trust your instincts, advocate without apology, and give yourself grace along the way.

Progress isn’t always loud or linear, but it matters.

The emotional letdown after the holidays can be hard for everyone, and it can feel even heavier for neurodivergent kids. After all the excitement, stimulation, and changes in routine, it’s common for big feelings to show up once things slow down.

If your child seems more emotional, tired, or easily overwhelmed right now, you’re not alone, and neither are they. These moments aren’t misbehavior; they’re a sign that your child is still processing. A little extra patience, predictability, and connection can go a long way as their nervous system settles.

12/25/2025

As the year comes to a close, we’re grateful for the families who trust us, the students who inspire us, and the progress - big and small - we’ve been honored to support.

Wishing you a season filled with rest, joy, and connection. ❤

Relying on context instead of decoding is a common reading pattern for students with dyslexia. When phonological processing is difficult, the brain may use surrounding words, sentence structure, or visual cues to make sense of text.

This strategy can support comprehension in the short term, but it doesn’t replace the need for strong, foundational decoding skills.

When we understand why a student is reading this way, we’re better equipped to advocate for explicit, structured literacy instruction and the supports that help them truly build confidence as readers.

12/19/2025

Holiday meals can be a lot: the smells, the noise, the new foods, the break from routine. For many neurodivergent kids, that mix can feel really overwhelming.

If your child eats differently during the holidays, it’s okay. Comfort matters more than a picture-perfect plate, and tiny adjustments can make the whole day feel calmer for everyone.

Got a tip that’s helped your family? Drop it in the comments...you never know who it might help this season. 🎄✨

Many people were taught outdated terms. Many grew up hearing words that were normalized, even though they were hurtful. But part of building a more inclusive community is recognizing the impact our words have… and choosing better ones as we learn.

Language shapes how children see themselves. It shapes how their peers treat them. And it reflects what we believe about their worth and potential.

Growth isn’t about blame.
It’s about responsibility.
And as Maya Angelou said, when we know better - we do better.

EAC will always stand for dignity, inclusion, and words that honor every child’s humanity.

Accommodations get talked about a lot, but rarely explained clearly. Many parents are left guessing what their child actually needs, what the school can provide, and how to tell if the current plan is doing its job.

The truth? Accommodations aren’t about making things easier, they’re about giving your child fair access to learning. And when they’re chosen thoughtfully, they can completely change a student’s school experience.

If you’re looking at your child’s IEP or 504 and thinking, “I’m not sure this is enough,” that’s a sign worth paying attention to. The right supports do make a difference, and you don’t have to sort through it alone.

If you’re feeling stuck or want a second set of eyes, we offer free 30-minute consultations. Link in bio.

Navigating an IEP or 504 meeting can feel overwhelming, especially when you are hearing new terms, managing timelines, and trying to make the best decisions for your child. You do not have to go into those meetings alone.

At Educational Advocacy and Consulting, we work with families to make the process feel more manageable. We help you understand what to expect, prepare questions, and communicate your child’s needs with confidence. During the meeting, we are there to listen, clarify, and support productive conversations with the school team.

Every child deserves a team that understands them, and every family deserves to feel supported. If you would like help preparing for an upcoming meeting, we are here whenever you need us.

⭐ Secret Menu Series: Item 24 ⭐

The 24th item on the menu in our Secret Menu Series: Understanding the “Notice of Conference”

Before every IEP meeting, you’ll receive a Notice of Conference. It not only lists the date and time, but also everyone who plans to attend. Take a moment to review that list. You should know each person’s role, and it is appropriate to ask questions if someone is unfamiliar to you.

If an individual shows up who was not listed, you can respectfully request that they not participate. You are entitled to know exactly who will be at the table for your child.
