Live Like Jake 5K – Preventing Childhood Drowning

On April 25, families, runners, sponsors, and supporters will gather in Downtown Abacoa for the 12th Annual Live Like Jake 5K, a high-energy, familyfriendly event dedicated to one powerful mission: preventing childhood drowning.

The Live Like Jake Foundation was created in memory of Jake Roarke Morrison, who tragically drowned at just 2 years old. What began as unimaginable loss has become a nationwide movement to ensure that “not one more child” is lost to drowning. Since its founding, Live Like Jake has provided more than 4,500 ISR self-rescue swim lesson scholarships in 42 states, delivered thousands of water safety education packets, supported drowning-impacted families, and expanded access to year-round swim instruction through its indoor pool facility in Palm Beach Gardens. The 5K is more than a race – it is a community-wide call to action. Each step taken supports life-saving swim scholarships and drowning prevention education. Drowning prevention is not one single solution, and requires multiple layers of protection working together:

Constant, Active Supervision: Designating a “Water Watcher” and staying distraction-free.

Barriers & Alarms: Pool fences, self-latching gates, door alarms, and covers.

ISR Self-Rescue Swim Lessons: Teaching children survival skills like rolling to float and maintaining composure in the water.

Bright Swimsuits/Clothing: Increasing visibili ty in and around water.

CPR Preparedness: Ensuring caregivers know how to respond in an emergency.

Together, these layers dramatically reduce the risk of drowning.

The Live Like Jake 5K brings this message to life –uniting families, instructors, and advocates who believe prevention is possible. When our community comes together, awareness grows, scholarships expand, and children gain skills that can save their lives. Join us: Walk | Run | Sponsor | Support | Because every child deserves a safer tomorrow.

Jupiter High School Student Making An Impact

A Jupiter High School junior is turning her love for animals into a growing movement that’s helping rescue organizations and supporting JMS students along the way. At just 16 years old, Sawyer Tinsley has already spent years making a difference in the local rescue community.

She began fostering kittens in sixth grade through Palm Beach Purrs, a local nonprofit dedicated to saving kittens in Palm Beach County. Sawyer and her family also volunteered at PetSmart through Palm Beach Purrs’ adoption process. What started as a simple act of fostering and volunteering quickly became something more meaningful.

Through her time caring for foster kittens, Sawyer noticed how interacting with them seemed to calm her and reduce middle school and high school stress. That observation as well as her mom being a mental health therapist, inspired her to create PAUSE, a club where middle school girls gather to spend time playing with foster kittens while talking about the pressures and challenges of middle school.

But her efforts to help animals didn’t stop there. Four years ago, after her grandmother in New Orleans sent her an article about a school there using plastic flamingos to raise money, her family launched a creative community fundraiser for Palm Beach Purrs known as “Flamingo Flocking Fundraiser.” Each August, community members can donate to have 200 plastic pink

flamingos secretly placed in a friend’s or neighbor’s yard overnight. The surprising lawn takeover has become a neighborhood favorite and an effective way to support rescue kittens. The event raises about $3,000 each year for Palm Beach Purrs, helping provide food, veterinary care, and supplies for rescued kittens.

This year she and her family are taking the idea even further by organizing a brand-new 5K called the Flamingo Run for Rescues. The race is designed to bring animal lovers and runners together while raising funds for four local animal rescues. Proceeds from the race will go directly to Palm Beach Purrs, Kelly’s Fosters, Wild Whiskers and Great Dane Rescue of South Florida. Together, these groups work to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals across the region.

Between fostering kittens, supporting younger students’ mental health, and starting creative fundraisers that bring neighbors together, the young volunteer has transformed her passion for animals into something that benefits the entire community. Her story is a reminder that anyone can make a difference with an idea, a desire, and help from their community!

Community members who want to support our local smaller rescues can volunteer, foster animals, donate supplies, or participate in Flamingo Run for Rescues 5K on May 9 by sponsoring, volunteering or run/walk the race. Even small contributions can help these organizations continue their lifesaving work!

Spring Into A Dating Evolution

By Kelly Leary, M.S. & Miranda Capparelli of Revolution Dating

“True love is an infinite resource; instead of depleting with use, giving love multiplies it.”~~ Antoine de SaintExupéry

In 2026, the journey from SINGLE to TAKEN looks wildly different from what it was in the past. If you are reading this article, this is your cue to make an upgrade and multiply your odds. Simply put, you can’t outrun the dating dilemma unless you take action. With unlimited options, dating apps, and overt independence, quality singles have become more intentional about who they invest their time and energy in—and they have chosen to increase the odds of success by using better judgment and making better choices. There is an anecdote. Welcome to your evolution.

Our role is to make the dating process more refined, efficient, enticing, and ultimately more successful. Each journey follows a familiar path: “I’m ready” → dating → relationship → forever. The journey is as organic as being introduced by a friend. For some, the cycle repeats a few times. For others, the timing, alignment, and readiness all click—and “forever” sticks quickly as in the case of some of our couples that were “one and done.” These relationships are built with clarity, compatibility, and timing—all key factors that matter now more than ever. At Revolution Dating, our goal is consistently consistent: to create meaningful, lasting connections and friendships. The goal is not just dates, but alignment. This can happen in one moment IF you position yourself to be in the right place at the right time with the right associations. As you kick off your evolution, it is essential that you maintain an open mind and heart.

If you are TAKEN, do share your love and this article with your single family and friends. Someone needs to hear this good news today. Pass on the love, and it will multiply.

Evolution Stage One: Admit “I’m Ready”

This stage can begin at any age, 25 to 85. The desire for companionship is timeless and ageless. The emotional feeling of being connected to one special person is priceless. When the internal “void” becomes louder, it’s not something to ignore—it’s something to honor. This is your push to get proactive with your dating life, just as you do with your business affairs. No one is going to come knocking at your door, and the dating apps are a roadmap to exhaustion and disappointment.

At this stage, ask yourself:

• What do I truly want?

• What works for my lifestyle?

• What am I no longer willing to tolerate?

• Are my expectations fair? (I.E. Do you know your league or are you blocking yourself?)

Evolution Stage Two: I’m Dating

This stage has evolved the most in recent years. You may be meeting multiple people or focusing on one promising connection. Either way, this stage is about exploration without commitment. There are no labels yet, and expectations should remain realistic. In today’s world, this phase can last anywhere from a few weeks to several months. The key difference now? People are quicker to assess compatibility (often inaccurately). Time is valuable, and successful singles are not interested in staying in the “gray area” for long. Clarity is the new confidence.

Evolution Stage Three: I’m in a Relationship

This is where things become defined. The conversation happens—whether it’s “I love you” or “let’s be exclusive”— and it’s mutual. In 2026, exclusivity carries more weight. With so many options available, choosing one person is a powerful decision. It reflects judgment, respect, and emotional availability by choice. This is the stage where couples begin to integrate their lives. They show up together, build routines, meet each other’s circles, and begin to envision the future. It’s exciting, energizing, and yes—this is the honeymoon phase. But it’s also where authenticity starts to take over. As real life settles in, this is where true compatibility is revealed.

Evolution Stage Four: Forever

For some, this means marriage. For others, especially those who have already experienced marriage or have families, it may look different—but the commitment is just as

meaningful. In today’s dating culture, “forever” is less about tradition and more about decisiveness. Choosing one person consistently, over time. The most successful relationships we see are not built on perfection—they are built on sincerity, effort, and alignment. The endgame for authentic dating has never changed: finding one person who feels like home. When you reach this stage, the desire to “see what else is out there” disappears. You’ve found your person—and that is the goal. It is time to graduate as a duo.

At Revolution Dating, this remains our mission for every client: not just to date, but to arrive. You have arrived because you are reading this column. Congratulations! Reserve your evolution today by calling our office or visiting our website. Wishing you the best spring holiday season filled with creativity, new opportunities, and community.

If you’re a local business owner, you’re juggling many priorities: growing revenue, managing expenses, supporting your team and planning for your own future. What if one tool could help with all these goals?

A workplace retirement plan might be that solution and can, directly or indirectly, offer benefits that extend beyond simple savings.

Double the tax advantages. Starting a retirement plan can deliver immediate tax advantages. For the business, employer contributions are tax-deductible. And as a participant in your company plan, your pretax salary deferrals are excluded from income taxes; your investments within the plan are tax-deferred until distributed. Many plans now offer Roth options that allow tax-free withdrawals in retirement.

Local businesses may also qualify for federal tax credits that help offset startup costs, employee education expenses and plan administration fees. Additional credits may be available for auto-enrollment features and employer contributions made during the plan’s first five years.

A competitive edge in hiring. In today’s labor market, offering a retirement plan can differentiate your business from competitors and help improve employee retention.

Many plans also provide access to financial education tools and resources, helping your employees make informed decisions about saving, investing and planning for retirement. This support can lead to greater employee satisfaction and productivity, contributing to a positive work environment for your business.

More flexible than state-sponsored options. If you live in a state requiring an employee retirement program, you might be considering a state-sponsored plan. While these programs can provide a starting point, they typically offer fewer investment options, lower contribution limits and limited design flexibility.

Establishing your own workplace retirement plan lets you customize features for your business needs to control administrative costs, set contribution limits and offer employees a wide range of investment options. This added control in plan design can lead to better outcomes for your business and your employees.

Reducing a hidden risk in your own retirement planning. Business owners often have as much as 80 percent of their net worth tied up in their businesses, according to the Exit Planning Institute. While that demonstrates commitment to success, it also creates significant financial risk to the owner.

Relying solely on a future business sale to fund your retirement can be precarious. Market shifts, timing challenges or limited buyer interest could derail those plans. By building personal assets through your employersponsored retirement plan, you can gain financial flexibility and reduce the risk of having your retirement lifestyle depend entirely on one event.

Getting started. With various retirement plan options available, determining which one fits your business best can feel overwhelming.

A qualified financial advisor can help you navigate these decisions, explaining the trade-offs between different plan types and identifying which option best suits your unique situation. They can also help you understand eligibility requirements and ensure the plan you choose aligns with your business goals and personal financial objectives.

Starting a workplace retirement plan represents an investment in your future, your employees and the long-term success of your business.

Palm Beach Dramaworks –Theatre to Think About

WORLD PREMIERE

By Steven Dietz

Directed by J. Barry Lewis

May 15-31, 2026

By Steven Dietz

Do you love to curl up with a gripping mystery?

Do you binge-watch British whodunnits, seek out movies filled with suspense, or gorge on true-crime podcasts? Do you particularly enjoy the intricacies of a psychological game of cat and mouse?

If your answer to any of the above questions is an emphatic “yes,” Palm Beach Dramaworks has a play for you: the world premiere of Steven Dietz’s Vineland Place. The play was first seen at

PBD as a reading during the 2025 Perlberg Festival of New Plays.

In this two-character play, young writer Henry Sanders seems to have found the perfect job: finishing the long-awaited final book of the novelist who was his hero. Hired by the novelist’s widow, Henry finds himself instead in the midst of a rapidly developing mystery. Vineland Place is an intimate thriller, filled with dangerous surprises to the very end.

Steven Dietz is one of the nation’s most popular and prodigious playwrights. His 40-plus plays and adaptations have been seen at over 100 regional theatres, as

well as Off-Broadway and in 25 countries. He was named one of the “20 Most Produced Playwrights in America” by American Theatre Magazine for the 2024-25 season.

Come and see Vineland Place and you’ll understand why. You’ll also discover the ex citement of watching a mystery unfold live, onstage, without a screen separating the audience and the actors. It’s intense. It’s palpable. It’s live theatre.

Pause And Rewind: How The Brain Keeps Time To Control Action

PFI Scientists have discovered how two brain areas work together like an hourglass to flexibly control movement timing.

Flexible control of movement timing is essential for behavior, relying on a timer in the brain. By measuring and manipulating activity in interacting brain regions, scientists could pause and rewind timing, revealing that the brain keeps time similarly to an hourglass. Illustration by Helena Pinheiro.

Key Findings

The Brain’s Hourglass: The motor cortex and striatum work together like an hourglass to measure time for precise and coordinated movement.

Pause and Rewind: Temporarily silencing the neural activity in the motor cortex paused the brain’s timer, whereas silencing the striatum rewound the timer.

Science on the Cutting Edge on page 15

Science on the Cutting Edge from page 14

Broader Impacts: These findings reveal how the brain keeps time to coordinate movement, which one day may be harnessed to restore movement in disorders like Parkinson’s and Huntington’s.

Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep time and control the timing of our actions. Such timing accuracy depends on a timer in the brain, but how the brain implements this timer was previously unknown. In research published this week in Nature, MPFI scientists Zidan Yang, Hidehiko Inagaki, and colleagues reveal how this timer works through the interaction of two brain regions—the motor cortex and the striatum. Together, these areas track the passage of time much like an hourglass.

Discovering The Brain’s Hourglass

“By combining neural recordings with brief changes in the activity of specific brain regions, we were able to identify the role that each region played in the brain’s internal timer. We realized that these brain regions work together to track time, but play unique roles – similar to the top and bottom of an hourglass,” described Dr. Yang. Pausing And Rewinding The Timer

these critical brain areas lead to precise control of behavior, such as fluid movements. We hope that this understanding can be harnessed to restore movement functions to those facing the challenges of living with a motor disorder.”

Yang, Z., Inagaki, M., Gerfen, C.R. et al. Integrator dynamics in the cortico-basal ganglia loop for flexible motor timing. Nature (2025)

Prior studies on how the brain might time movement have highlighted both the motor cortex and the striatum as key brain regions. These regions show neural activity patterns consistent with timing functions and cause movement timing deficits when damaged in diseases such as Parkinson’s and Huntington’s.

Dr. Zidan Yang, lead scientist of the study, explains, “We understood there was an adjustable timer in the brain, but it was unclear how the brain was implementing this timer and what the specific role of each brain region was. We wanted to understand precisely how the brain keeps time because it is such a critical function for our everyday activities.”

To achieve this, the scientists trained mice to receive a treat by licking a spout with specific timing, for example, after 1 second. During this task, the researchers recorded the activity of thousands of neurons in both the motor cortex and the striatum to measure their timing-related patterns. To understand how the brain’s timer might work, scientists combined these measurements with a technique called optogenetics, which allowed them to temporarily silence the activity of one brain area with flashes of light and measure the resulting changes in the timing-related patterns in the other area.

The researchers discovered that the motor cortex is like the top of the hourglass, sending streams of neural signals to the striatum. In the striatum, those signals accumulate as time passes, just like the sand at the bottom of the hourglass. Once the signal reaches a certain level, movement is triggered.

When the researchers temporarily silenced the motor cortex, it paused the flow of these signals as if pinching the neck of the hourglass to stop the flow of sand. This paused the buildup of activity in the striatum and delayed the timing of the mouse’s lick for the treat, as if time itself had been paused.

On the other hand, when the researchers silenced the striatum, it reset the timing signals as if the hourglass had been flipped to restart the timer. This delayed the mouse’s licking even further, as if time had been rewound.

Broader Impacts

The team’s findings mark a significant advancement in understanding how neural activity across these two areas interact to coordinate the timing of actions. Dr. Hidehiko Inagaki, MPFI research group leader and senior author of the study, describes his ultimate goal: “The motor cortex and striatum are the two key brain areas that control our movement and are damaged in many motor disorders. We are working to understand how the brain’s activity patterns across

Commissioner’s Update

Protecting Palm Beach County Consumers

By Commissioner Maria G. Marino

Public Safety Division of Consumer Affairs is a department within Palm Beach County that plays an important role in protecting residents and helping them make informed decisions when doing business. The division works to educate consumers, mediate complaints, and enforce regulations that protect residents from unfair or illegal business practices.

For Palm Beach County residents, it is reassuring to know there is a local resource available to help when problems arise with a business. The Division of Consumer Affairs serves as an advocate for consumers by investigating complaints and working with businesses to resolve disputes. Their goal is to create fair outcomes while ensuring businesses follow the laws and regulations designed to protect the public.

One of the most valuable services the division offers is its free informal mediation program. This program allows residents to file complaints regarding issues they may have experienced with a business. Once a complaint is submitted, the division reviews

Northern Notes

Gopher Tortoises

By Katie Roundtree, Director of Finance and Administration, Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District

Gopher tortoises are one of five North American tortoise species and one of the oldest living species on the planet. They are the only tortoise found naturally east of the Mississippi River. It is a statedesignated threatened species in Florida and is found in parts of all 67 Florida counties. The gopher tortoise is about 9 to 11 inches long when fully grown and is a tan, brown or gray color. Juveniles tend to be lighter brown and yellow-orange. Once they reach adulthood, they can live almost 90 years! They are identifiable by their stumpy, elephant-like hind feet and flattened, shovel-like forearms covered in thick scales. These shovel-like forearms are used to dig extensive burrows for homes.

As their name insinuates, gopher tortoises spend almost 80 percent of their time in burrows. Burrows average about 15 feet long and about 6 1/2 feet deep. Gopher tortoises are ectotherms which depend on their environment to maintain their body temperature. Their burrows help maintain a stable temperature and protect them from extreme temperatures and fire. Here in South Florida, they are active all year round. In contrast, in colder parts of Florida, they remain in their

the matter and works to mediate between the consumer and the business involved. This process often helps resolve concerns without the need for lengthy or costly legal action. Many residents find that mediation provides a practical and efficient way to address disputes and reach a fair solution.

In addition to helping resolve complaints, the Division of Consumer Affairs helps residents make informed decisions before hiring or purchasing services from a business. If you are considering working with a particular company but are unsure whether to move forward, the division offers a business information report through its online Business Lookup tool. This report provides up to three years of complaint history associated with a registered business that consumers have reported in the past. By reviewing this information, consumers can better understand a company’s track record and make more confident choices.

Another important focus of the division is helping residents recognize and avoid scams. Unfortunately, scams have become increasingly common and often target individuals through phone calls, text messages, emails, or even mailed documents. Scammers frequently pretend to represent well known organizations that people trust, such as Medicare, Amazon, the Social Security Administration, or utility companies.

In many cases, scammers will claim that there is a problem with one of your accounts and that you must verify personal information immediately. They may ask for sensitive details such as Social Security numbers, banking information, or passwords. Another common tactic involves sending a fake check in the mail and instructing the recipient to deposit it and then send a portion

burrows during cold winter months. Gopher tortoises are keystone species because their burrows provide shelter and provide refuge for more than 350 other species, such as burrowing owls, mice, indigo snakes, rabbits, opossums, foxes, gopher frogs and invertebrates.

Because of their burrowing needs, they prefer well-drained, sandy

of the money back. Once the check is discovered to be fraudulent, the victim may be responsible for the lost funds.

Residents are encouraged to stay alert and recognize the warning signs of a potential scam. Be cautious of unexpected calls or messages requesting personal information and avoid engaging with unfamiliar numbers or senders. Blocking unwanted calls and text messages can also help reduce the risk of being targeted.

Additionally, residents can take advantage of the Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller’s Property Fraud Alert, a free service that provides an added layer of protection. This service notifies property owners by email or text within 24 hours when a document is recorded in their name, address, or parcel number they have registered to monitor. It helps detect potential fraud, such as criminals forging documents to steal property or take out loans, allowing owners to take quick action.

Through consumer education, mediation services, and scam prevention efforts, Consumer Affairs and the Property Fraud Alert program remain committed to protecting residents. By providing trusted resources and guidance, they help residents make informed decisions, avoid potential fraud, and confidently navigate their interactions with businesses throughout Palm Beach County.

What High School Juniors Should Be Doing Now To Prepare For College Applications

By Peggy Forgan, M. Ed., Class 101 Owner/College Advisor

For high school juniors, college application season may seem far away, but in reality, it is only about six months away. The work students do during the spring of junior year can significantly affect how smooth and successful the application process will be when senior year begins. One of the most important steps juniors should take now is building a thoughtful college list. Students should research colleges that match their academic profile, interests, and goals. A balanced list typically includes reach schools, match

schools, and likely schools. Considering factors such as size, location, academic programs, campus culture, and cost helps students identify schools that are the right fit both academically and personally.

show commitment, leadership, and growth over time. Rather than trying to add many new activities, students should focus on deepening their involvement in the clubs, sports, jobs, or volunteer work that are most meaningful to them.

Another important step is beginning to think about potential essay topics. The personal statement allows students to show who they are beyond grades and test scores. Students who begin reflecting on meaningful experiences early often write stronger and more authentic essays.

soils in habitats such as longleaf pine sandhills, scrub, pine flatwoods, dry prairies and coastal dunes. They are also found in urban areas, as many of their natural habitats have been developed by humans. A habitat with well-drained soil, abundant plants to forage, and open sunny areas is ideal for gopher tortoises. Gopher tortoises are herbivorous and feed on low-growing plants. They may drink water pooled after rainstorms, but most of their water needs are supplied from the plants they eat.

Locally, there are large populations of gopher tortoises in preserves maintained by Northern within Abacoa and Botanica. Some of Abacoa’s preserves have trails within them where you may catch a glimpse of a tortoise. Northern’s environmental team works hard to maintain these pristine natural lands so that native animals and plants can thrive for years to come.

As you enjoy the preserves, please keep in mind that fences and gates are there to prevent unwanted animals from entering, as well as tortoises from leaving and potentially being harmed. Please keep all gates closed after entering or leaving the preserves and report any damaged gates or fences to your HOA or Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District.

Because gopher tortoises are protected in Florida, handling and relocation of gopher tortoises is illegal unless conducted under a valid permit issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). An FWC relocation permit must be obtained before disturbing burrows and conducting construction activities. Lucas Schaffer, Northern’s environmental manager, has taken courses and is certified as a Gopher Tortoise Authorized Agent. As such, he is allowed by the FWC to survey, trap, transport and relocate tortoises as necessary.

It is illegal to kill, harass or destroy gopher tortoises; however, if you see a tortoise crossing a busy road, FWC grants permission to move the gopher tortoise across the road in the same direction as it was heading as long as it is safe for you to do so. Do not move the tortoise to another location or put it in a car, as this constitutes illegal possession. If you see a sick or injured tortoise, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator, such as Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, at (561) 575-3399 for assistance. Source: myfwc.org

Fun fact: April 10 is Gopher Tortoise Day! On this day every year we raise awareness and appreciation for the gopher tortoise and all the benefits they provide to the ecosystem. You can help celebrate Gopher Tortoise Day by hosting an event in your co mmunity, asking your local city or county commission to formally adopt April 10 as Gopher Tortoise Day, and educating others on the importance of protecting gopher tortoises. Or simply admire a gopher tortoise from a distance and observe how amazing these animals are!

NPDES tip: Do not pile garbage, trash, leaves, limbs or garden debris in swales – this adds pollutants which can wash into downstream waters. Do not park vehicles in the swale – this compacts the soil so less runoff soaks in.

Standardized testing should also be part of the plan. Students should develop a clear strategy for both the SAT and ACT, including determining which test may be the better fit, identifying testing dates, and creating a preparation plan. Having a testing strategy in place now allows students to focus their preparation and work toward improving scores before applications are due.

Juniors should also continue strengthening their extracurricular involvement. Colleges value students who

For many families, working with a college planner can make this process far more manageable. A college planner helps students develop a clear strategy, stay organized with the many deadlines involved in the college application process, and navigate each step.

Benefits Of Advocating For An IEP

By Jim Forgan, Ph.D., Licensed School Psychologist

Many parents sense that their child is struggling in school long before a formal plan is put in place. You may notice difficulties with reading, writing, attention, or anxiety, yet feel uncertain about how to navigate the complex special education process. In these moments, testing your child to give additional understanding can make a meaningful difference.

School neuropsychological testing provides answers to your intuitions. Testing reveals your child’s strengths but also provides needed data to explain your child’s hidden weaknesses and how those are interfering with learning. Once schools have unbiased data and the report with recommendations, they can move forward with an individualized education plan (IEP).

For many families, the experience can be transformative. As one parent shared, “With your testing report and the advocate, our son qualified and received an IEP for specialized instruction. We were greatly relieved and encouraged that he would now receive the additional support needed for him to thrive.”

Testing combined with advocacy gets results. A special education advocate is a professional who understands the laws, procedures, and language of the educational system and helps you work collaboratively with schools to secure appropriate services for your child. If you feel overwhelmed by acronyms, eligibility criteria, and evaluation data, an advocate provides clarity and guidance. Advocates also help you prepare for school meetings. Eligibility meetings, IEP meetings, and school conferences can feel intimidating. An advocate helps you organize concerns, develop key questions, and ensure that the conversation remains focused on your child’s needs. Their presence often helps create a more balanced discussion and ensures that important points are not overlooked.

Another key role of an advocate is helping ensure that children receive appropriate supports and services. This might include specialized instruction, accommodations, or related services. Advocates understand how to align evaluation data with educational eligibility categories and service recommendations.

An advocate is on your side. By helping you understand the process, interpret data, and communicate effectively, advocates ensure that your child receives the educational support necessary to reach their full potential.
