Helen Roussel - Parent Advocate
However, if you feel that you would benefit from having a fellow parent who attended a dyslexia advocacy course at the New York City Bar and is trained as an educational advocate at Long Island University and is experienced in talking to administrators about dyslexia, I would be happy to help. I can attend CSE meetings with you or meet with administrators.
It would be a pleasure to help you get your child the programs and trained teachers they need to close the gap between your child and his or her grade level. This will help to get their self esteem back and enable them to fully participate in their education. Our School Presentation Includes:
Advocacy Parent ReviewsParent of 8 year old student: Multi-Sensory Structured Literacy at SchoolEncourage cooperation and research teacher training - what are the options? You, as the parent, and the school ultimately want your child to succeed.
Be assertive, but put emotions to one side and think of other children in the same position as your child with parents who may be unable to advocate for them. Bring a friend or advocate to CSE meetings as it can be an intimidating process.

Here's some examples of students self-advocating. At the beginning of each school year, they present to their new school teachers and explain what dyslexia is. It helps their teachers understand dyslexia, it opens up conversations about dyslexia and conveys how they best learn.
