Frequently Asked Questions

What is an IEP and why does my child need one?
An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legally binding document detailing the special education services and accommodations a student with a disability receives. If your child has a disability affecting education, an IEP ensures appropriate support is provided at no cost to your family.
What should I do if the school refuses to provide requested accommodations?
Document all requests and the school's responses in writing. Contact the firm to discuss your options, which may include requesting a formal meeting, filing a due process complaint, or pursuing other advocacy measures depending on your circumstances.
Can I bring an advocate to IEP meetings?
Yes, you have the right to bring advocates, family members, and legal representation to IEP meetings. Having experienced advocacy present strengthens your ability to negotiate effectively for your child's needs.
