FAQs

The Fight For Justice Starts Here

Special Education Law ensures that children with disabilities receive the support and services they need to access a free and appropriate education (FAPE). It includes legal protections and processes to develop Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Section 504 Plans that are designed to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities.

An IEP is a legally binding document that outlines specific educational goals, accommodations, and services for students with disabilities. It is created through a collaborative process between parents, teachers, and educational professionals to ensure the child’s individual needs are met, and their educational progress is supported.

 

To qualify for special education services, your child must be evaluated by the school district to determine if they have a disability that significantly impacts their ability to learn. If the evaluation confirms eligibility, an IEP or Section 504 Plan will be developed to address the child’s specific needs and ensure they receive the necessary support.

 

Yes, if you disagree with decisions made about your child’s IEP, you have the right to request a meeting to review the plan or file a formal dispute resolution process, such as mediation or due process hearings. It’s important to advocate for your child’s needs and ensure their IEP reflects the appropriate services and support for their success.
