New York Special Education Law Attorneys
Many children have special needs and require special services that must be accommodated by your school district. Unfortunately, dealing with your child's school can sometimes be overwhelming and even intimidating. The school does not always make decisions in the best interests of your child and is often, motivated by budgetary concerns and will in many cases, try to deny services that your child is entitled to receive.
At Limmer & Associates, we are dedicated to protecting your child's right to a quality education. Our experienced attorneys can guide you through all the legal intricacies of special education law.
Contact us today online or by telephone at 888-870-8722 to speak with an experienced Long Island and New York City special education law attorney. We can help you fight for the rights of your child.
Protecting the Rights of Disabled Children
We know how confusing and frustrating it can be for a parent to try to deal with school administrators and teachers, evaluators and evaluations, Individualized Education Plans (IEP's,) disciplinary issues, reading problems, and all of the other challenges that sometimes arise. We know that nothing in life is more important to you than your child.
Federal law states that every child with a disability is entitled to receive a "free appropriate public education" that meets their unique needs and prepares them for "further education, employment and independent living."
Our attorneys can help you identify your child's educational needs and the services that they are entitled to receive. We can then formulate a plan to make sure that your child will receive the proper services. Some examples of our services are:
- Reviewing all documents and evaluations
- Accompanying our clients to a Individualized Education Program meeting
- Advocating to develop and implement an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to meet your child's educational needs
- Making sure that your child receives the benefits of a free and appropriate education (FAPE) in public and private placement
- Bringing a due process action to force the school to implement needed services
- Being your advocate for your child through all proceedings
The role of an attorney in these matters is an important one. Our special education lawyers understand how important it is that your child receive the best education possible. We will do everything in our power to protect your child's right to an education.
