Legal Assistance for Families of Students with Special Needs
Every school-aged child is entitled to a free and appropriate public education. If your child is struggling in school, whether a disability is suspected or has been identified, we can help them on the right path.
Children with disabilities have special needs which often require additional supports, modifications, and/or alternative placements to help them progress in school. In some circumstances, legal intervention is helpful to ensure students’ special needs are being identified and met. Other times it may be required to enforce the rights of children with disabilities. There is no one size fits all approach – even for students with the same disability(ies).
Together we can lay the groundwork for your child’s journey towards educational success.
Although it may feel like an overwhelming process, you do not need to go through it alone. With careful planning and collaboration based on your child’s individual needs, he or she can start learning and making progress towards realistic educational goals. Contact me today to find out whether I may be able to help you and your child.
