How We Help

At Bright Bear Advocacy Co., we offer personalized advocacy and expert support to help families navigate the complexities of special education and 504 processes. Whether you’re just starting to ask questions or are facing a difficult team meeting, we’re here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

💬 IEP & 504 Advocacy and Consultation

If your child is struggling socially, emotionally, or academically, you don’t have to navigate the education system alone. We help families understand their child’s rights and options within their current school setting whether through a new evaluation, 504 plan, or special education services. Together, we build a path forward rooted in your child’s unique strengths and needs.

🔎 Observations, Data Review & Meeting Support

Whether your child is starting an intervention, has a current IEP or 504 plan, or you're unsure what supports are in place, we provide a second set of expert eyes. We conduct file reviews, observations, and interviews to clarify next steps and ensure your child’s support plan is aligned with their needs. We also attend school meetings to help ensure your voice is heard and your child’s needs are not overlooked.

🏔 Support for Families New to Colorado

Moving to Colorado can be exciting but when your child needs educational accommodations or specialized services, the transition can feel daunting. We help families new to the state understand Colorado’s special education and 504 processes, connect with providers, and ensure services are transferred and continued smoothly.

🧩 Ongoing Advocacy & Case Coordination

When progress stalls or plans aren’t fully implemented, ongoing advocacy can make all the difference. We provide hands-on support through regular communication with schools, monitoring of services, and collaboration with outside providers. Our goal is to keep your child’s support team aligned and accountable so they receive the services they need to grow and thrive.
