DITD checked for us to make sure that partial homeschooling is not allowed at our public school. Unfortunately, I was right that it is not. But it was nice to have someone "official" who could check on it.

Since we're homeschooling now, we haven't needed them to do any advocacy. I wouldn't hesitate to ask if something came up, however. Our consultant has seemed extremely supportive and knowledgeable. And just feeling like we have backup if we need it gives me peace of mind.
