The following is a list of special education advocates in Delaware, and the areas in the state they will service. My recommendation is to have an advocate at ANY IEP meeting, but that is a personal decision. Please keep in mind some of these folks may not be available because they already have many cases they are helping out with. If, for some reason, you are unable to obtain an advocate, just remember two things: Never sign the IEP until you can take it home, look it over, and perhaps get advice. If there is something you don’t agree with, let the case manager on the IEP team know. Try to record every single IEP meeting. You can get a recorder as cheap as $20.00 at several retailers.

Lisa Frankel: Newcastle County, email: lpfrankel@gmail.com, Board Certified in Educational Advocacy, Bio: My professional life has always revolved around education. I was a general education teacher in Delaware for many years, working in both private and public schools in Wilmington. I am certified in regular education, special education and in school counseling in Delaware. My M.Ed is in school counseling. My advocacy training was through the National Special Education Advocacy Institute (2013) and the Institute of Special Education Advocacy at the College of William & Mary Law School (2014). Although I work with families in all areas of special education, I am the most familiar with students with mild language-based learning disabilities. I am the founder of the Delaware branch of Decoding Dyslexia.
