OUR STORY

Our founders, with backgrounds in education, advocacy, and project management, saw the challenges families faced in securing quality education for children with special needs. EmpowerED Advocates was created to bridge this gap by providing expert guidance, assessments, and advocacy support

We've successfully helped dozens of families secure better IEPs, gain access to needed services, and improve student outcomes.
