Information on Advocacy, Self-Advocacy and Advocacy Organizations

• The Student Advocacy Center of Michigan is the only independent organization in Michigan providing free, non-legal advocacy to students and families within both general and special public education programs, contact the Student Advocacy Center of Michigan, an independent, non-profit organization at http://www.studentadvocacycenter.org/.
• For information about legal representation to children and consultation to practitioners and community members available through the Michigan State University Graduate School of Social Work and Michigan State University School of Law Chance at Childhood Program (a clinic is staffed by MSU graduate-level social work students and MSU law students), click here.
• The Coalition Against Institutionalized Child Abuse seeks to expose and rectify the abuse and distress of children placed in private residential facilities, behavior modification programs, boot camps, wilderness programs, and boarding schools. We believe that no child should be abducted, incarcerated, abused, neglected, or stripped of their basic human rights for the sake of profit.

• Also, see our list of Disability Organizations. Some provide advocacy services at little or no cost to families.
