More than 32 years of special education advocacy experience, right here for Palos Verdes families working with PVPUSD.
Ballou Education is a special education advocate Palos Verdes families trust to navigate the IEP and 504 plan process with confidence. The Palos Verdes Peninsula overlooks the Pacific and spans Palos Verdes Estates (90274), Rancho Palos Verdes (90275), and Rolling Hills Estates. We bring more than 32 years of hands-on advocacy experience to every family we support here.
Palos Verdes students attend Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (PVPUSD), which operates Palos Verdes High School, Palos Verdes Peninsula High School, and the intermediate schools Palos Verdes, Miraleste, and Ridgecrest. The district’s high-achieving culture means families often come to us wanting individualized plans that match their child’s specific needs.
PVPUSD’s district office is located at 375 Via Almar, Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274 and can be reached at 310-378-9966 for special education and 504 inquiries. As a special education advocate Palos Verdes families rely on, we help you understand your rights, prepare for meetings, and make sure your child’s plan is actually followed once it’s written.
Every family’s situation looks different, whether it’s a first-time evaluation request, a 504 plan that isn’t being implemented consistently in the classroom, or an IEP that needs updated goals as your child grows. We meet Palos Verdes families where they are and build a plan around what your child specifically needs — not a generic template.
