New Advocacy Organization Offers Holistic Approach

Online, May 6, 2010 (Newswire.com) - A new organization has emerged in the struggle to find holistic advocacy services for children with disabilities. Diane Hartman, founder and CEO of Justin Hartman Education Advocacy, Inc. (JHA), today announced the nonprofit is now accepting clients. Founded in honor of her son, Justin, who was born with Down Syndrome and was diagnosed five years ago with Bipolar II Disorder, JHA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing 'Best Practices' in education advocacy services for individuals living with learning disabilities, mental illness and/or mental retardation, emotional, and other cognitive challenges. JHA also provides the necessary support family members need in order to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

"Finding an organization that addresses the social, emotional and academic needs of a child living with a disability, and one whose staff members are willing to see that case to a successful completion, is near impossible to find," Hartman said. "Parents often feel discouraged and frightened when it comes to addressing their child's future. Children living with disabilities can live purposeful and promising lives, and my son's success is living proof of that. As parents, we have the power to positively affect our child's future. At JHA, as we advocate for the best possible opportunities available for your child, we will also show you how to become your child's best advocate."
