About Us
Special Education Advocacy and Resources (SPEAR) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families navigate the complex world of special education. We understand that every child learns differently and that parents often need guidance to ensure their children receive the appropriate support and services.
Our mission is simple: to empower families and students with special needs by providing comprehensive advocacy, personalized support, and innovative home-based and school-based education program design. We believe that collaboration, knowledge, and individualized attention are key to unlocking a child’s full potential.
Whether you’re just beginning to explore special education options or seeking help refining your child’s current plan, SPEAR is here to help you every step of the way.

Collaboration with Providers
We coordinate with external professionals—such as psychologists, counselors, ABA therapists, occupational and speech-language pathologists—to ensure a cohesive support plan for your child.
What Sets Us Apart
At SPEAR, we don’t just guide—we partner with families to create meaningful, results-driven educational plans. Our approach is rooted in advocacy, empathy, and expertise. We specialize in comprehensive IEP review and program design that goes beyond surface-level recommendations. Every plan we help shape is realistic, rigorous, and specifically tailored to your child’s strengths, needs, and potential.
We understand that no two students are the same, and we honor every parent’s right to choose the best educational path—whether public, private, or home-based. Our team helps you navigate these options with confidence, offering expert insight and practical solutions that fit your family’s unique circumstances.
Above all, we believe that true progress starts with understanding, communication, and collaboration—and we’re committed to making sure every child has the opportunity to succeed.
