This means we can advocate for your child without any out-of-pocket costs to you.<\/p><\/li><li><h4>What types of cases do you handle?<\/h4><p>We specialize in special education law, including:<\/p> <ul> <li>IEP and 504 Plan disputes<\/li> <li>School district noncompliance<\/li> <li>Denied services or accommodations<\/li> <li>Placement and evaluation issues<\/li> <li>Due process hearings<\/li> <li>Bullying and discrimination cases related to a child\u2019s disability<\/li> <\/ul><\/li><li><h4>How do I know if I need legal help for my child\u2019s education?<\/h4><p>If your child isn\u2019t receiving the services they need, their school is ignoring your concerns, or you feel like your voice isn\u2019t being heard in IEP or 504 Plan meetings, legal advocacy can help. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your situation.<\/p><\/li><li><h4>What rights do I have as a parent in the special education process?<\/h4><p>Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, you have the right to:<\/p> <ul> <li>Be actively involved in your child\u2019s education plan<\/li> <li>Request assessments and independent evaluations<\/li> <li>Challenge decisions about your child\u2019s services or placement<\/li> <li>Access legal representation to ensure your child receives the support they need<\/li> <\/ul><\/li><li><h4>What is an IEP, and how is it different from a 504 Plan?<\/h4><p>An <strong>Individualized Education Program (IEP)<\/strong> is a legal document outlining special education services and goals for students who qualify under IDEA. A <strong>504 Plan<\/strong>, on the other hand, provides accommodations and modifications for students with disabilities who do not require specialized instruction but still need support to access their education.<\/p><\/li><li><h4>Can you help if my child was unfairly suspended or expelled?<\/h4><p>Yes. Schools are required to follow specific procedures when disciplining students with disabilities. If your child has been suspended, expelled, or disciplined unfairly, we can help ensure their rights are protected.<\/p><\/li><li><h4>What if the school district refuses to provide the services my child needs?<\/h4><p>If a school refuses to provide necessary services, we can step in to advocate for your child. This may involve requesting meetings, filing complaints, or taking legal action if necessary to secure your child\u2019s rights.<\/p><\/li><li><h4>How do I get started?<\/h4><p>Simply fill out our <strong>contact form<\/strong> or call us for a <strong>free consultation<\/strong>.
