    “Helpline staff spent many hours on the phone listening to my concerns, sharing resources with me as well as wisdom gained from her own experience advocating for her child at school. I was so grateful for her kind ear and moral support during a very challenging time for our family. She was also able to assist us by sharing her knowledge of parent’s rights in special education and directing us toward other relevant legal information that guided our work in advocating for our child.”   - Parent
