More than 32 years of special education advocacy experience, right here for Chandler families working with Chandler Unified School District.
Ballou Education is a special education advocate Chandler families trust to navigate the IEP and 504 plan process with confidence. Chandler is one of the largest cities in the southeast Valley, spanning zip codes 85224 through 85226, 85248, 85249, and 85286, with neighborhoods like Ocotillo, Fulton Ranch, and a growing technology corridor. We bring more than 32 years of hands-on advocacy experience to every family we support here.
Chandler students attend Chandler Unified School District (CUSD #80), one of Arizona’s largest districts with more than 40 schools serving elementary through high school. Because the district is so large, families often deal with different staff and different campus-level procedures from one school to the next, which makes preparation before IEP and 504 meetings especially important.
CUSD’s district office is located at 1525 W Frye Road, Chandler, AZ 85224 and can be reached at 480-812-7000 for special education and 504 inquiries. As a special education advocate Chandler 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 Chandler families where they are and build a plan around what your child specifically needs — not a generic template.
