Advocacy for Kids is dedicated to assisting parents in securing educational rights for their children with disabilities.
Why Do You Need An Advocate?
Is your child having academic or social difficulties and you don't know the best way to communicate with his school?
Is your child eligible for special education services and you don't know if her needs are being met?
There are concrete steps you can take to ensure that your child is getting the help he or she may need. That's where Advocacy for Kids can help.
Advocacy for Kids will:
- Empower you with the information and strategies you need to have productive and positive conversations with your child's school
- Help you understand what your child's educational rights are, and
- Teach you how to work with the school in a non-adversarial way to develop a plan that addresses your child's individual needs.
Most importantly, Advocacy for Kids will help you develop a solid working relationship with your child's school. Our end goal? To get you to a point where you are comfortable and confident advocating for your child on your own.
The truth is…no one knows your child better than you and that makes you a vital member of your child’s team.

What Parents are Saying about Ann McCarthy, founder of Advocacy for Kids:
"Ann has been an essential asset in helping us navigate the complex and sometimes daunting school system. She has assisted us in taking an active role in our child's education. We are truly grateful."
--Parent from Greenwich, CT
“Working with Ann McCarthy helped me truly understand the PPT and IEP process as well as review the needs of my child and the options of services available to meet those needs within the public school parameters.”
--Parent from Wilton, CT
“When my three year old son entered our town’s public preschool for kids with special needs, I was hoping he would get the right services and he would improve. After a year, he was still behind his same-aged peers. I was very concerned and did not know where to get help. Finally, Ann McCarthy stepped in. She helped me at my PPT meetings, worked on new goals and objectives for the upcoming school year, and was able to get the school to do a comprehensive evaluation of my son (which I had tried to do myself unsuccessfully).”
--Parent from Fairfield County, CT
