Description
The Student Advocacy Center (SAC) was established in 1975 to focus on the educational experience of students; to identify successful practices and policies as well as the barriers to effective service.
Using a strengths-based approach, the Student Advocacy Center works in partnership with families and schools to promote educational practices that result in success for students, as well as to challenge those exclusionary policies that may have a harmful impact on students and families.
SAC provides a full range of services: free individual case advocacy, technical assistance, and training for parents, students, and professionals about children’s educational entitlements and due process rights in Michigan.
The Student Advocacy Center of Michigan is the only independent organization in Michigan providing free, non-legal advocacy to students (and their parents) who are eligible for general and special public education programs.
