Advocacy Team

Becky Harlan
Advocate, Fick Educational Services
My name is Rebecca “Becky” Harlan. My husband and I live in Downingtown and have been married for 25 years. We have two wonderful children that we adopted who both struggle with their own disabilities.
I have been an Educational Advocate for 13 years and love what I do. I work hard to give each of my clients a voice for their children and fight to get them what their child deserves to be successful at school and in their community. I started my career at The Arc of Chester County, but now work for Fick Educational Services in West Chester.
I also proudly serve my community as a school board director for the Coatesville School District and chair the Policy Committee. This is my second year of a four year term. I am strong advocate for children with special needs, as well as behavioral needs. It’s important to me to speak up for the voiceless and help create a better district for the kids here.
