IEP & 504 Advocacy Support for Parents
When your child’s support plan isn’t being followed — or you’re unsure what to ask for next we help you get clarity and results.
You’ve worked hard to secure your child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 plan. But what happens when the school doesn’t follow through, or when you aren’t sure what additional services or accommodations your child may qualify for?
At Brooklyn Mindful, we step in to make sure your child’s needs are understood, respected, and supported. Our team of licensed therapists and social workers are also seasoned parent advocates — people who’ve been where you are, navigating complex systems, attending meetings, and pushing for fair support.
We bring a holistic, all-virtual perspective to advocacy — combining mental health expertise, systems knowledge, and emotional support to help families across New York access the services their children deserve.
How We Can Help
We partner with parents to ensure every aspect of your child’s plan is implemented and your family’s concerns are heard.
- Advocacy in Action: We attend IEP and 504 meetings with you (virtually or in person) to make sure your child’s needs and rights are fully represented.
- Guidance & Clarity: If you’re unsure what services or supports to request, we’ll help you identify options, gather information, and understand what’s available.
- Mediation & Communication: We can act as mediators or write letters to Department of Education staff on your behalf, helping to keep communication clear, respectful, and effective. We can also attend mediation meetings with you.
- Documentation & Strategy: From reviewing evaluations to drafting requests and organizing records, we help you stay prepared and strategic.
- Emotional Support: When the process feels overwhelming, our therapists offer one-on-one emotional care to help you stay centered and supported throughout.
You Don't Have to Fight Alone
Every parent wants their child to succeed — but navigating special education systems can be exhausting and confusing.
