FAQs
Wondering if Bridge2Bloom is right for your family? Here’s what many parents ask when getting started.
How can a special education advocate help me?
A special education advocate can help you understand your rights and your child’s rights under IDEA and Section 504. At Bridge2Bloom, we break down the legal jargon and help you prepare for school meetings so your child gets supports and services they need.
What qualifications does a special education advocate need?
There are no official licenses or requirements to call yourself a special education advocate, but experience and training matter. At Bridge2Bloom, founder Stephanie Plessy holds Board Certification in Special Education Advocacy from the American Academy of Special Education Professionals. She brings 14 years of experience working in schools, supporting students with disabilities and partnering with families like yours.
