Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Parent Support Arizona provide?
We connect families with advocates for special education, DDD, behavioral health, and complex care management.
What do advocates do?
Advocates assist with understanding and navigating educational and health systems, ensure that your child’s needs are met, and help you communicate effectively with service providers.
​
How can advocates help with the special education system?
Advocates simplify jargon, review evaluations, and attend IEP/504 meetings and behavioral health collaboration team meetings to ensure your child receives appropriate support.
What types of needs do you support?
We support students with learning disabilities, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, PANS/PANDAS, anxiety, speech impairments, social skills deficits, emotional/behavioral difficulties, complex health needs, and any other ways that make your child unique.
​​
My child is struggling in school and homework is a nightmare. What can I do?
Sometimes it can be hard to know what to do. Talk with your child's school. Get information from your child's teacher about what they are seeing in the classroom. It's not always easy to know if your child needs an evaluation or not. An advocate can help you figure out what questions to ask and to work with the school to get your child the help they need.
​
Do I need an advocate?
If you’re navigating complex systems like special education or behavioral health and feel overwhelmed, an advocate can provide essential support and guidance.
​
What happens if I don’t have an advocate?
Without an advocate, you might face challenges in navigating the systems, which could lead to missed opportunities for support or services. Advocates help ensure that you fully understand your options and advocate for the best outcomes for your child.
​
Do the advocates provide legal advice?
No. The advocates are not attorneys and they are not doctors. They do not provide legal or medical advice, but they may suggest you contact an attorney and can provide you with attorney names.
​
Does Parent Support Arizona guarantee results?
While we strive to provide the best support and advocacy possible, we cannot guarantee specific outcomes. Our goal is to work collaboratively with you to navigate systems effectively and pursue the best options for your child’s needs.
