Advocacy Prep · How it works
When the paperwork stops making sense, we help you see the picture.
You don’t have to become a special-education expert to get your child what they need. We take the pile of records you already have, organize it, and hand back something clear — so you understand what you have, what’s missing, and what to do next. Here’s exactly how it works and what you’ll receive.
The process
1. Choose your package & check out. Pick the level that fits your situation (not sure? start with a free call). You pay securely online.
2. Upload your records securely. You’ll get a private, encrypted link to our secure portal. Upload whatever you have and answer a short intake that starts with the good stuff — what your child loves and does well.
3. We organize and analyze. We build the chronology, map your records to IDEA and Section 504, and surface the patterns that only show up when everything sits side by side.
4. You receive your case documents. Clear, plain-English documents you can read, share with an attorney or evaluator, and bring into any meeting.
5. Optional debrief. Many packages include a call to walk through what we found and what your options are — so you feel prepared, not just informed.
What you’ll get
Depending on your package and the complexity of your case, your set can include any of these. A smaller case gets streamlined versions; a complex, multi-year case gets all of them at full depth — often well over 100 pages in total across the six documents.
A Parent’s Guide — a plain-English orientation written so both parents can read it together, no special-ed background needed.
A Case Brief — the executive summary: the bottom line and key findings, up front, in a five-minute read.
A Complete Case Analysis — the deep dive: your child’s profile, the patterns across the record, the evidence, and verbatim quotes from the school’s own documents.
A Master Timeline & Evidence Index — an audit-ready chronology with reference tables, ready to hand to an attorney, evaluator, or second-opinion advocate.
Strategic Options — the realistic paths forward, with what each requires, how long it takes, the likely outcome, the cost, and the tradeoffs — so the decision stays yours.
A Parent Advocacy Reference — the meeting-ready document: specific evidence, the contradictions in the school’s record, clinical scores, regulatory citations, and word-for-word scripts you can use in the room.

Common questions
What exactly do I get?
Written case documents (above), delivered through our secure portal — plus, on most packages, a call to walk through them. You may get one consolidated report or several companion documents, depending on your case.
How long does it take?
It depends on the package and how many records there are. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe once we see what you’ve uploaded, and we’ll always tell you if something is time-sensitive.
What if I’m missing some records?
Upload whatever you have. Part of our job is spotting what’s missing and telling you exactly what to request and how.
Are you attorneys? Is this legal advice?
No. We provide parent support, document organization, and educational advocacy preparation — not legal, medical, or mental health advice or representation. Our documents are built so you (or your attorney) can act on them.
Can you come to my IEP or 504 meeting?
We prepare you to walk in ready — with the evidence, the questions, and word-for-word scripts. For ongoing, in-the-moment support around active meetings, see the Active Case Add-On.
How is my family’s information kept private?
Your records live only in our secure, HIPAA-supported portal, with access limited to Casey and Danielle. We never ask for sensitive details over regular email, and we don’t share your records without your written permission except as required by law.
Which package should I choose?
If you’re unsure, book a free 20-minute call and we’ll point you to the right fit — or start with a Single Record Review for one document. You can always move up to a fuller package later.
What happens right after I pay?
You’ll get a welcome email, then a secure link to upload your records, complete the intake, and sign a simple services agreement. Once we have everything, we begin.
What’s your cancellation policy?
If you cancel before we begin reviewing your records, you get a full refund (and there’s a 48-hour grace window after purchase). Once we’ve started, the work is custom and non-refundable. Monthly plans can be cancelled anytime and stop future billing.
Ready when you are.
However you’re most comfortable connecting — a call or just email — works for us.
Raising Different Together provides parent support, document organization, and educational advocacy preparation. We do not provide legal, medical, or mental health advice or representation.
