- What is FAPE? Free and Appropriate Public Education, also known as FAPE, is provided to all students under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA). Our firm can help ensure school districts offer appropriate accommodations to special needs students. To learn more, visit our What Is FAPE? page.
- What is an IEP? An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a referral, evaluation and documented plan that outlines a child's special education needs as well as the services and accommodations the school district must provide to that child. For a more thorough explanation, visit our What Is An IEP? page.
- What is an appropriate education? Education programs for disabled students may be considered "appropriate" if they meet the student's individual needs to the same extent nondisabled students' needs are met. This may include education in a regular classroom, the use of aides, services, and education in separate classrooms accompanied by related therapy.
- Why do I need a special education lawyer? The staff of attorneys at our firm help parents of students with special needs obtain tuition reimbursement, resolve disciplinary matters, and get necessary accommodations. Further, we will serve as your advocate and trusted counselor throughout any process, hearing or litigation related to special education or education law.
