Support Services for Your Child’s Journey

IEP Review and Support

We help families prepare for meetings, review evaluations, identify gaps in services, and develop clear, measurable goals that truly reflect your child’s needs. We attend IEP meetings with you (virtually or in person), advocate for appropriate supports, and make sure the school follows through on what’s written. Whether you’re starting the IEP process for the first time, facing resistance from the school, or trying to fix an ineffective plan, we stand beside you to protect your child’s rights and create a path toward meaningful progress. IEP outcomes and implementation are determined by the school district. GraceBridge Advocacy cannot guarantee results but can assist with concerns or complaints.

Who This Is For: Parents who feel their child's IEP doesn't fully reflect their needs, families preparing for annual reviews, or anyone who wants a second set of expert eyes on their child's plan.

504 Plan Guidance

We guide you through the entire process from requesting an evaluation to identifying your child’s specific barriers, preparing documentation, communicating with the school team, and advocating for accommodations that meaningfully support learning and access. Outcomes and implementation are determined by the school district. GraceBridge Advocacy cannot guarantee results but can assist with concerns or complaints.

Who This Is For: Families of children with ADHD, chronic health conditions, learning differences, or other disabilities who need classroom accommodations but may not qualify for an IEP.

Medicaid Waiver Navigation

 We break down complex rules into plain language, assess eligibility, guide you through required documentation, and help you complete your application. Whether you’re applying for the first time, renewing, appealing a denial, or transitioning from Katie Beckett to NOW/COMP, we walk with you step‑by‑step to ensure your child receives the services, supports, and long‑term care options they deserve. Waiver approval is determined by the State of Georgia. GraceBridge Advocacy cannot guarantee outcomes.

Who This Is For: Parents who feel overwhelmed by paperwork, families who want help crafting professional correspondence, or anyone who needs support communicating their child's needs in writing.

    Renewal support has a lower flat rate, while appeal support is higher.

    GraceBridge Advocacy offers consultation and assistance with Medicaid waiver applications, including Katie Beckett and NOW/COMP. All eligibility and approval decisions are made by the State of Georgia. As such, no outcome or approval can be guaranteed.

“Anika was key to my ability to walk into my daughter’s IEP confident and prepared. Together we discussed key points and supports my daughter needed in order to keep school safe and meaningful. I was able to walk into the meeting with clarity, and afterward we discussed how things went and next steps for the future.”

“Talking with Anika made me feel seen, heard, and no longer alone in this process. I finally felt like someone was walking with me.”
