You love your child—but navigating the IEP process can feel overwhelming, confusing, and at times intimidating.

Meetings are rushed. Language feels legal, not human. And you’re left wondering:

Am I doing enough? Am I missing something? Why does this feel like a battle instead of a partnership?

Called to Advocate was written for parents just like you.

This faith-centered, practical guide walks you step-by-step through understanding your child’s IEP, learning how to speak up with confidence, and advocating effectively—without losing your peace or your purpose.

Blending real-life experiences, clear explanations, gentle humor, and biblical encouragement, this book helps parents:

• Understand what an IEP really is—and what it legally must include
• Prepare for IEP meetings without fear or confusion
• Recognize red flags, vague language, and procedural missteps
• Advocate firmly while remaining respectful and composed
• Navigate behavior plans, discipline, and transition meetings
• Strengthen discernment and confidence through faith and prayer

This is not a dry legal manual.
This is a conversation with a parent who’s been there, reminding you that you are not alone—and that God equips those He calls.

If you’ve ever left an IEP meeting feeling unheard, frustrated, or unsure, this book will help you walk back in prepared, grounded, and confident.

You were called to advocate—and you don’t have to do it alone.
