Can a Special Education Attorney Help?

If you disagree with, or have concerns about, your child’s Individualized Educational Program (“IEP”) you may want to consult with a special education attorney. Perhaps you made a request to conduct assessments, for Independent Educational Evaluations (“IEEs”), to provide additional support, or change placement, and the district denied that request. Maybe you are withholding consent to the IEP in the hopes the school will make specific changes that you believe are necessary. It never hurts to get a second set of eyes on your concerns.
