We know the many steps of the IEP and Section 504 Plan processes and, more importantly, we are experienced with effective strategies for negotiating the education plan your child needs. We can help you frame your experiences so that the school district will listen, advise you when and whether it’s worth seeking input from outside experts, and navigate you through each challenge that arises on the road to a better education for your child. Let us guide you through the special education process.
