  3. Advocacy Services for those with Disabilities Advocacy Makes a Difference When you choose AAG to represent you, we will hold an in-depth consultation with you free of charge. During this consultation we’ll review the facts of your case and work with you to make a plan to secure your benefits. We can suggest programs you qualify for that you may not know about, as well as identify any areas where research is needed to strengthen your case.

  4. Advocacy Services for those with Disabilities Comprehensive Services AAG can represent you in many different ways: • For adults or families, we can help you apply for Social Security Disability income and Supplemental Income. If you’ve already been turned down, we can represent you in your appeal. • We understand complicated IHSS guidelines and can help seniors, disabled adults and families with disabled children receive all the benefits you’re entitled to. • AAG can join your IEP team, help you choose the right programs and services for your child, advocate for you against an unfriendly school district and even represent you at a Due Process hearing to enforce your child’s rights. • Parents who adopt special needs children are eligible for assistance and we can help you secure it.

  5. Advocacy Services for those with Disabilities In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) In-Home Supportive Services provides crucial benefits for families of children with developmental disabilities. Unfortunately, applying for and receiving these benefits is notoriously difficult and many families give up after encountering roadblock after roadblock. At American Advocacy Group, our mission is to help you throughout the application process and get you the assistance you deserve.

  6. Advocacy Services for those with Disabilities Supplemental Security Income (SSI) For individuals and families coping with a disability, Social Security Disability benefits (SSD) and California’s Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can make a world of difference. But many households that would qualify for SSD and SSI never apply, and the majority of those who do apply are turned down—often for no good reason. At American Advocacy Group we are dedicated to helping all disabled persons qualify for the maximum Social Security benefits they’re entitled to.

  7. Advocacy Services for those with Disabilities Conservatorships and Special Needs Trusts When you are responsible for a loved one with a disability, a plan is neededin order for the financial security and services that the disabled individual requires in order to live a fulfilling life, as independently as possible. It’s necessary to assess the costs for the essential support, identifythe government benefits for which the person is eligible and may be receiving, and plan for the future when your child is an adult, including filing for a conservatorship if the individual will be unable to make important decisions independently, and a special needs trust when caregivers have passed away.

  8. Advocacy Services for those with Disabilities Educational Advocacy Families with special needs children already face substantial financial pressure to manage at-home care. Unfortunately, school districts often exacerbate this pressure by failing to provide the special education support that disabled children are entitled to. When that happens, the best thing that parents can do is seek educational advocacy. AMERICAN ADVOCACY GROUP2082 Business Center Dr, Suite 235Irvine, CA 92612 Website AmericanAdvocacyGroup.com

  9. Advocacy Services for those with Disabilities Due Process Representation For parents with a developmentally disabled child, a due process hearing is one of the most important legal tools afforded to you. Unfortunately, few parents know that these hearings exist and even fewer use them. At American Advocacy Group, we believe that every disabled child deserves an equal education and we know how to use the due process system to enforce your child’s rights.
