A Yale University Study indicates that parents are at a distinct disadvantage when advocating for their children. The disadvantage can be attributed to three basic factors:
1. Lack of knowledge regarding disabilities
2. Lack educational options
3. Difficulty interfacing with school authorities (lack of knowledge with respect to state and federal
regulations). http://www.yalelawjournal.org/note/when-parents-arent-enough-external-advocacy-in-special-education
