Advocacy For AllTM

So every child can be their bestTM

   Advocacy for All is a new initiative of The Drive For Rebecca to help families advocate more effectively on behalf of their children with special needs. 

    While the people who make educational decisions about children with special needs may have the best intentions, they have a huge conflict of interest and are ultimately guided by policies that do not put the child’s best interests first. They work for the school system and must minimize public expenditures – and that comes at the expense of a child’s future. 

    When parents of children with special needs don’t know their rights or are unable to assert themselves, their children can become victims of a form of unintentional child abuse by the school system.  Without a powerful voice to represent them, these kids will be denied the best possible education and will not reach their potential.

    Consider the family where English is a second language, the single mom, or two working parents who work so hard they barely get to see their kids. These families are at a tremendous disadvantage because of a lack of understanding of the law, an inability to communicate or, in the case of the single mom, the sheer exhaustion of just trying to keep her head above water in order to survive each day.

    Through Advocacy for All, The Drive for Rebecca will help provide families with free guidance by working together with not for profit organizations that offer advocacy services (please see letter of reference).  The long-term goal is to help provide free assistance to any family in need so that every child can be their best.  100% of the proceeds from sales of The Special Needs Parent Handbook™ are helping to fund Advocacy for All.

    To kick off the Advocacy For All initiative, we raised over $5000 from 50 different donors in a 30 day period during The Global Giving Challenge and earned a permanent spot on the Global Giving web site to raise funds for this and future projects.

  

    Please join us and support our effort to help make sure kids with special needs don’t get left behind.
