Special Education Advocacy

Special Education Law

Special Education Law focuses on the rights of students with disabilities to ensure that they receive appropriate and effective education. Although there are many state and federal laws to help ensure that every child is provided a free public-school education that suits their educational needs - including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and The Americans with Disabilities Act – sometimes you still have to fight for those rights on behalf of your child.

Special education law can be complicated, and navigating the complex special education process can be overwhelming for parents. School districts make it more difficult for students to gain access to those services.

That’s where an experienced special education lawyer can help.
