Special Education Advocate

Superior Center for ADHD & Executive Functioning
Contract Position (1099)

We are seeking a high-impact, detail-driven Special Education Advocate to join our team as an independent contractor. This role is ideal for a BSW or MSW-level professional who deeply understands child development, ADHD/executive functioning challenges, school systems, and family support—and isn’t afraid to speak up, push back, and fight for what’s right.

We are looking for someone who is persistent, assertive, and unshakeable when advocating for children and families. If you’re the type of professional who does not back down from hard conversations, holds school districts accountable, and thrives in meetings where advocacy truly matters, this position is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Attend and advocate during IEP, 504, and multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings on behalf of families.
• Review school evaluations, progress reports, and behavioral data to ensure services match student needs.
• Provide families with clear guidance on their rights and help them understand the special education process.
• Collaborate with therapists, educators, and clinical staff to align recommendations across home, school, and treatment.
• Draft written advocacy letters, requests, and documentation to support service changes or evaluations.
• Support parents in preparing for school meetings and navigating communication with administrators and teachers.
• Maintain accurate notes, documentation, and communication outlines for each case.
• Uphold strong ethical standards and operate independently under a 1099 contractor agreement.

What We’re Looking For

• BSW or MSW required (licensed or limited license preferred but not required).
• Strong knowledge of IEP/504 laws, IDEA, FAPE, and behavioral/accommodation planning.
• Someone who is confident, assertive, and not intimidated by confrontation.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to translate clinical or functional needs into actionable school-based supports.
• Comfortable working with families of children with ADHD, Autism, learning disabilities, and executive-function challenges.
• Highly organized, reliable, and able to manage a flexible caseload.
• The “bulldog” advocate mindset—persistent, unwavering, and ready to challenge school systems when needed.

Compensation & Structure

• This is an independent contractor (1099) position.
• Flexible scheduling based on meetings and family needs.
• 60% of services billed and received through practice.
• Remote and in-person meeting opportunities depending on district and client needs.

Ideal Candidate

Someone who believes that every child deserves an equal chance to succeed—and is willing to go to bat for families, even when the system resists. You advocate with strength, professionalism, compassion, and strategy.
