Abstract
In the attempt to help parents become better educational advocates for their children with disabilities, an "advocacy expectation" has been created. This expectation runs counter to the philosophy of normalization. The advocacy expectation and its effects are critically discussed. To counter the expectation and its effects, changes in professional roles, funding priorities, and program development are recommended.Keywords
