AYA Forward · Independent Advocacy
Start with the situation.
Move toward a plan.
Choose the kind of support you need, see what an initial action plan might involve, and submit a confidential inquiry for personal follow-up.
Step 01
Which kind of advocacy support do you need?
Step 02
What is happening right now?
Select the closest situation. This is a starting point, not a diagnosis, legal analysis or determination of eligibility.
Step 03
Choose a possible level of support.
Service options indicate the type of engagement, not a commitment to an available appointment or a price. The scope and fee are provided in writing before any paid work begins.
Access + Funding
Explore ways to arrange support.
AYA uses a community-access approach. No payment or subsidy is approved by selecting an option. Availability, scope, eligibility, and fees are discussed individually. AYA does not represent that Medicare, Medicaid or insurance will reimburse these services.
Step 04 · Get Started
Send an advocacy inquiry.
Share enough for AYA to arrange an initial conversation. Do not include student names, medical details, diagnoses, records, financial account numbers or other sensitive personal information here.
