Protecting Your Child's Rights in Nevada Schools
Special education in Nevada is governed by federal laws including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, along with Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 388. These laws guarantee your child's right to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) — but knowing your rights and enforcing them are two different things.
Wynn Advocacy helps Nevada families with every aspect of special education: requesting and interpreting evaluations, reviewing Behavior Intervention Plans, preparing for disciplinary hearings, navigating placement changes, and pursuing due process or mediation when schools fail to deliver required services. Our founder Stephanie Wynn has earned a reputation within Nevada school districts as a fierce, knowledgeable advocate.
"Stephanie is an absolute godsend. Her knowledge, compassion, and dedication to our children's education is unmatched. She truly is the best advocate in Nevada."

Special Education Advocacy Questions
Common questions from Nevada families about special education advocacy.
What is a special education advocate in Nevada?
A special education advocate is an expert who helps parents navigate the special education system, including IEPs, 504 plans, evaluations, discipline hearings, and due process. In Nevada, advocates like Wynn Advocacy ensure schools comply with federal (IDEA, Section 504) and state education laws while fighting for your child's right to appropriate educational services.
When should I hire a special education advocate in Nevada?
Consider hiring an advocate when: your child isn't making progress on their IEP, the school denies requested services or evaluations, you're facing a disciplinary hearing or placement change, you disagree with the school's evaluation, or you're considering due process or mediation. The earlier you engage an advocate, the better positioned your family will be.
Can Wynn Advocacy help with due process in Nevada?
Yes. Stephanie Wynn has extensive experience helping Nevada families navigate due process complaints and mediation. When a school district fails to provide FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education), we help families build their case, organize documentation, and connect with educational attorneys when litigation is needed.
What is the difference between an advocate and an attorney?
An educational advocate helps parents understand their rights, reviews documents, attends meetings, and develops strategies. An attorney provides legal representation in due process hearings and court. Wynn Advocacy is an educational advocacy organization — not a law firm. We work alongside families at every stage and refer to trusted educational attorneys when legal representation is needed.
Does Wynn Advocacy help with school discipline and suspension hearings?
Yes. Disciplinary actions for students with disabilities require specific protections under IDEA, including manifestation determination reviews. Wynn Advocacy helps Nevada families understand their rights, prepare for hearings, and ensure schools follow proper procedures before any suspension, expulsion, or placement change.
