As the new school year kicks off, self-advocacy skills can make all the difference for students navigating the classroom, especially those with disabilities.

Learning to speak up about needs, ask questions, and understand your rights takes practice and support. WILC helps students and families build these skills and connect to the resources they need for a successful year. 🎒

SAVE THE DATE .... WILC's Family Empowerment Advocacy Series (FEAS) to begin on October 8, 2026!

Parents and family members, join us for this FREE in-depth series for families navigating special education.

The series has 2 goals: 1. strengthen participants' ability to advocate effectively for their own children; and, 2. prepare them to serve as informed, responsible resources for other families in their communities. Participants will build practical knowledge of special education processes, communication, meetings, evaluations, IEPs, rights, discipline, and referrals. The program will also emphasize the boundaries of the parent/lay advocate role, including when a family may need more specialized or legal support.
