Special education needs

Children with special education needs deserve to have teachers and classroom assistants who understand the limitations a learning disability can place on a child and who are willing to work with your child to overcome obstacles they face. Our attorneys help parents ensure Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are properly implemented and, if necessary, additional services are secured and maintained so your children receive the help they need.
