Like no other training I have been to!
I was expecting a review but I got a wealth of new research-based information. Amazingly in-depth and comprehensive.
It allowed me to create the business of my dreams.
I still laugh when I think of the stories you all told us. Great information given in a way that I could apply–you didn’t just give us information-you showed us how to use it!

Now a BCEA Advocate
It has been amazing to be in this program!
I now have new insights into understanding the culture, processes, and complexities of the education systems (plural). I've learned to manage a wide range of issues, challenges, personalities and hidden agendas.
This training goes so far beyond basic regulatory, due process, and special education principles. I learned how to identify and address unique and individual educational needs, how to develop a truly comprehensive, child focused IEP that NOW actually results in functional outcomes.
~Jill D
Professional Advocate & Mom
My business has grown in leaps and bounds.
NSEAI has brought me into a highly valued profession. My national board certification has set me apart from other advocates who are not cross-trained.
The historic lack of any standards, in this industry, has allowed poorly-qualified advocates to promote themselves. NSEAI has set a new national standard now so that everyone has the same quality information allowing us to effectively advocate. Being a BCEA is a top-ranked professional credential.
This is a comprehensive all-one package. I finally learned how to develop an IEP correctly, and proactively support those with disabilities to get a FAPE! I am not just running after violations.
