Empowering Individuals to Speak Up

Advocacy empowers individuals to speak up and be heard. It encourages parents to actively engage in the educational process, fostering a sense of agency and ensuring that their concerns are acknowledged.

In summary, advocacy is a collaborative and empowering process that aims to ensure individuals, in this case, parents and their children, have the support, information, and confidence needed to actively participate in and shape their educational journey.
