Mission 139
Special education advocacy and financial aid so families can get the evaluations, therapy, and representation their kids are entitled to.
For: Neurodivergent students (ASD, ADHD, dyslexia), high-needs families, IEP/504 clients
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Psalm 139:14
Mission 139 is built on the belief that every neurodivergent child deserves to be met with that same regard, in their IEP meeting, in their classroom, and at home.

Navigating the system shouldn't fall on you alone
An educational advocate helps students and families navigate the complexities of the education system — ensuring every student, especially those with unique needs, has access to the resources and support they need to thrive.
Understanding Educational Rights
We help families understand their rights under laws like IDEA, Section 504, and state-specific regulations.
IEP & 504 Plan Support
We guide families through developing, reviewing, or revising a plan tailored to their child's specific needs.
Collaboration with Schools
We act as a bridge between families and schools, facilitating productive communication to find solutions.
Navigating Evaluations & Services
We help request and interpret evaluations, so students receive the accommodations and interventions they're owed.
Empowering Families
We give families the knowledge and tools to keep advocating for their children long after we've stepped in.
"When you partner with us, you're not just gaining an advocate — you're gaining a compassionate ally committed to helping your child achieve their fullest potential."
