COPAA-SEAT-certified and USD SELAS-trained, IEP San Diego is a Point Loma bilingual special-education advocacy practice at Liberty Station on Historic Decatur Road. Founded in January 2020 by a Spanish-English advocate trained through the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates SEAT program and the University of San Diego School of Law Special Education Law and Advocacy Series, the practice represents families during IEP eligibility meetings, 504 plan negotiations, and due-process preparation — work that commonly extends into specialized tutoring at The Learning Lighthouse once appropriate services are secured. International Dyslexia Association membership backs a specialty roster covering autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, ADHD, early intervention, behavioral therapy, mental health services, social-emotional learning, and Social Thinking frameworks. When district schools repeatedly fail to implement an IEP — a pattern the practice documents through in-school observations and independent educational evaluation referrals — families sometimes shift to alternative placements including charter options such as The Charter School of San Diego, reshaping the advocacy work from IEP enforcement toward enrollment-transition support. The highest-stakes cases escalate to settlement talks where the practice secures nonpublic-school placement written into the IEP — the goal for families whose children's needs exceeded district capacity, typically following 12 to 18 months of evaluation-backed documentation, due-process filings, and prepared-for-hearing case build-up.
