A parent on working with RussellRussell Lloyd, Parent Advocate and Founder of YourChild.org
With 20+ years as an advocate, firsthand experience as a dad to three children with special needs, and nearly 30 years solving complex problems, Russell helps families secure the services, supports, and decisions their children need.
Russell is a professional educational advocate, author, and mentor with 20+ years of advocacy experience, nearly 30 years solving complex problems, and the firsthand perspective of a father raising three children with disabilities. He brings all three to every family he supports.
Schools count on parents being exhausted, unsure, and too polite to push back. The vague answers. The “let's keep monitoring.” The services that quietly never happen. Russell has heard every version, and within minutes of him joining the conversation, the school knows he understands exactly what they owe your child.
And for you, the relief is immediate. The case is no longer living only in your head. You stop lying awake wondering what you missed. Someone is finally on your side who will not let it go.
“My advocate, Russell—he was amazing, amazing. And I will say, that’s the best time and money that I invest in my son’s life.”
Hear Valeria in her own words.
“Mr. Russell is AMAZING advocate for special needs families that like my was and still dealing with the frustration of the public schools manipulations and lack of accountability to follow the IDEA laws and provide all services available by law. He will really fight for the laws to be implemented and respected. We went from “1 human” on the “IEP meetings of 10 minutes only bc everybody was busy all the time and couldn't make it to the meetings without us be informed prior but take as surprise!! when walked into “the meeting” completed changed to (14 !!!! )people and 2:30hrs from couple pages to a full reviewed and updated IEP, from years of be denied ESY to a full month of 5 hrs 5 days p week that already proved my son's improvement when the support is provided. Mr. Russell complete changed our son's next years at public school. He will be defending our son's rights from now on. The best money invested in my son's future.”

Every Week You Wait Is a Week Your Child Cannot Get Back.
