Navigating ARD (Admission, Review, and Dismissal) meetings can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to face it alone. ALMA provides experienced advocacy support to ensure that students with disabilities receive the services and accommodations they are legally entitled to under IDEA.

We attend ARD meetings with families, help interpret complex educational language, and advocate for appropriate goals, services, and placements. Our focus is simple: to make sure every decision reflects the true needs of the child—not just what is easiest for the system.

We believe every family deserves access to support, regardless of financial circumstances.

• Sliding scale available based on income

• $50 per hour (up to 2 hours per session)

• Any additional follow-up related to that session is included at no extra cost

• Ongoing communication throughout the process is always included

Our goal is not just to attend a meeting—but to stand with you from start to finish. At ALMA, advocacy is more than a service—it’s a commitment. We ensure families feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way.
