Our
Mission

Ensuring legitimate equality and authentic inclusion across all educational systems for students with disabilities.

Why
We Do It

There are many government agencies tasked with supporting children with disabilities and their families. But the reality is that families are still falling through the cracks of these systems every single day. Rather than trying to change large bureaucratic systems, we have taken the approach of filling the gaps that exist within and around them. The Advocacy Underground helps schools and families understand the laws and research surrounding special education services, provides toolkits to supplement academic instruction and teaches teams how to create environments that support the authentic inclusion of all students.

How You
Can Help

Donations of money, time and talent resources are greatly appreciated. We are actively seeking financial donations to support the development of our educational toolkits, families and teachers to participate in user feedback, academic research partners and software development capabilities.
