What classes should I take? I'm assuming they have to be in social work, psychology, child development, maybe even health/social relations. But, how do I know exactly what I need to take? What degree am I going for? I'm in Chicago, so what universities are good for a career in child advocacy? I don't know what else to ask, but any information in how to become a child advovate would be greatly helpful. Thanks.

It sounds like you need courses in both special education and social work. I would contact ASAH, an organization that helps people with special needs youngsters, and ask them what they suggest. Good luck...it's a job that requires patience, and a lot of love...but the results can be life changing.

First you can actually learn a lot online. Start with the spec ed laws at www.idea.ed.gov www.nichcy.org go to the fed health and human service website see children. Good luck and good for you!!
