• Assessing needs: Advocates work with students, families, and educational professionals to identify individual needs and barriers to learning.
• Providing information and resources: Advocates offer guidance on education laws, policies, and procedures, as well as available support services and resources.

• Advocating for policy changes: Advocates may engage in broader advocacy efforts to address systemic issues, advocate for policy changes, and promote inclusive and equitable educational practices at local, state, and national levels.
• Overall, educational advocacy plays a crucial role in empowering students, families, and communities to advocate for their rights, access resources, and achieve educational success.
