“We are incredibly grateful for Linda J. Silver and her expertise in assisting my daughter to obtain a 504 plan. She brings years of experience in the education field as a guidance counselor, 504 specialist, and educational consultant for many school districts. She is compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, and has excellent communication skills. She effortlessly navigates the 504 process with educators and district personnel to help students obtain the accommodations they need to succeed. She genuinely cares about students and is invested in them as if they were hers. So thankful we found her!

Linda, you have a special gift handling the treacherous (lol) world of the Florida education system. I will sing your praises to anyone that is in need of an advocate. Please make sure to find a replacement, should you ever decide to retire. The education system needs more wonderful, knowledgeable, compassionate and caring people like yourself.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear, straightforward answers to help you navigate the advocacy

process and ensure your child’s educational rights are protected.

Why do I need an advocate?

As a parent, you want the best for your child. Schools employ professionals - shouldn’t you? Navigating the complexities of the Section 504 process can feel overwhelming, with unfamiliar terminology, detailed procedures, and legal nuances.  Have you dealt with school officials that have put you off and ignored you and your child’s needs? Don’t waste any more time and hire an expert education advocate that will navigate the educational system with you, ensure your child’s rights are protected and collaborate with school personnel.

I may need help. When should I hire an educational advocate?

Why wait and take a chance that your evaluation request at your child’s school might be denied? Start with the most qualified Section 504 advocate to assist you from the very beginning of the Section 504 process.

How can you help my child?

Our services are individualized based on your child’s needs. Tell us what your needs are and we will work with you. Our team has the professional credentials and caring attitude to provide the educational assistance you need. We will help ensure that your child receives the services needed and is entitled to by federal law.

How soon can I expect a response after contacting you?

I strive to respond to all inquiries within two business days. If your situation is urgent, please indicate this in your message, and I will do my best to prioritize your request.

How should I prepare for my FREE consultation?

To make the most of our time, please gather the following documents in advance:

1. Recent educational evaluations or assessments.
2. Relevant medical or psychological reports

3. Any existing accommodation plans. (e.g., 504 Plans, IEPs)

4. All communication from the school, school progress reports, report card grades and test scores.

5. Write down your questions and concerns.

Can you work directly with my child’s school?

Yes, with your consent, I collaborate directly with school staff to advocate for your child, and facilitate communication.

How do I know if my child qualifies for a 504 Plan?

Accommodations are provided to ensure students with disabilities have equal access and opportunity to learn and participate fully in all educational programs.

How long does it take for my child to receive accommodations?

The process timeline varies based on factors such as school district policies and legal requirements. Typically, it may take 30-60 days from the initial 504 request to have an eligibility meeting and implement accommodations.

What types of accommodations can my child receive?

Accommodations vary depending on your child’s needs but some examples include:

-Extended time on tests

-Preferential seating

-Teacher notes 

-Clarify/simplify/repeat directions

-Small group for testing

During our consultation, we will identify accommodations that best support your child's educational success based on the disability.

How can you help if my child’s needs change over time?

Children’s needs can evolve, and I provide ongoing support to adjust their accommodations or services as necessary. This may involve follow-up consultations and continued collaboration with school teams.

What are your fees for educational advocacy services?

I offer a range of services tailored to your child’s individual needs. Fees and customized service packages will be discussed during our initial contact to ensure transparency.

What Parents Are Saying

I am a highly knowledgeable and dedicated advocate for students with disabilities. Clients praise my effective guidance in navigating educational systems and securing essential accommodations, leading to improved outcomes. Feedback highlights a consistently positive experience.

Equal access to your education isn’t a privilege - it’s a right.
