A special education advocate is a highly trained person with "specialized knowledge" about the disability and the educational and adult agency processes. Also known as a parent advocate or educational/professional advocate, your advocate should have a working knowledge of the disability as well as sound understanding of laws and regulations which mandate services for: ages 0-3, special education K-22, and adult services 16+. An advocate is not an attorney nor a substitute for legal advice
