Educational Advocacy Services at LINKS Pediatric and Adolescent Behavioral Health

At LINKS Pediatric and Adolescent Behavioral Health, we recognize the crucial link between pediatric behavioral health and a child’s academic and social success. Our educational advocacy services are designed to support families in navigating this complex relationship. We recognize the pivotal role school life plays in the holistic care of children, impacting not only their academic achievements but their overall well-being.

Navigating the Educational Landscape with Expertise

Dr. Caroline Kabel-Kotler, with her expertise as a Behavioral Specialist and Educational Advocate, offers essential support to families navigating the educational system. She is committed to ensuring that children’s educational rights are upheld and provides guidance on:

  • Attending Child Study Team/IEP (Individualized Education Program) meetings with parents to advocate for their child’s needs.
  • Clarifying educational rights under the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) and ensuring these rights are protected.
  • Assisting families with evaluations and advocating for necessary accommodations and supports.
Ensuring a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)

Central to our educational advocacy is the principle that every child deserves a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) tailored to their individual needs. This principle, rooted in the IDEA, aims to prepare children for future education, employment, and independent living by addressing their specific learning and behavioral challenges.
