If your child in Arlington has autism, dyslexia, ADHD, anxiety, a speech delay, or complex needs — and Arlington Public Schools isn't giving them what they need — you don't have to figure it out alone. We're a special-education advocacy service built by a DMV parent who has lived it. The first call is always free.
APS is a smaller, well-resourced division — but smaller doesn't always mean your child automatically gets what they need. The good news: federal law (IDEA) gives your child the same powerful rights everywhere, and here's the path to using them in Arlington Public Schools (APS).
Before you pay anyone — including us — know your free options. We'll always tell you honestly when free help is all you need.
We track the region's most respected evaluators and specialized schools — ranked by quality, never by who pays.
