Webster's Dictionary defines "Advocacy" as the act of supporting one's work.
The Family Liaison Project offers families the tools to become advocates for their children in an educational maze of FCAT's, IEP's and FSP's. Through services and supports Jim Gerhauser,
Emily DeWoody and Terry Tomaka offer educational trainings, one to one meetings and a menu of workshops to assist parents in understanding the alphabet soup of education in the 21st century.
Jim and Terry have attended over 50,000 Individual Educational Plans; Emily has joined our team so we are able to serve more families in Brevard County, Florida. We are a proud to be The only Liaison Project in Florida that works as collaborative team members in order to assist families as they develop their own teams for their child. Individual meetings with families help establish communication between parents and school. Effective advocacy means collaboration as a team.
The Liaison's look at the individual student's abilities, aspirations, and assist the family in a proactive role as part of the educational planning team.
Every parent holds a dream for their child's future...
Every child holds a dream of their own...
