Lots to reply to, but here's a quick question:

I looked at Wrightslaw, found a lot of attorneys and schools, but nothing that screamed "advocate" to me. Maybe I'm overlooking them, and maybe I'm just not sure what I'm looking for. Am I looking for an attorney, or something else? (And gosh that seems like a silly question, but having a third-party advocate is new to me.)

So far we haven't filled out any paperwork, although I have some to do over the winter break. Our SST meeting in right after school goes back in session, so I don't know that we'd even have enough time to go back to the neuropsych we initially saw to get his opinion. Whew, this is all so overwhelming!
