When You Need Help with Special Education Programs

We work with parents, guardians and their children, handling all matters related to:

• The application for and the preparation and implementation of an Individualized Education Plan — We have successfully helped other parents put together IEPs that meet the needs of their children. We can also work with you to set up regular monitoring of the effectiveness of an IEP. In addition to preparing and filing all necessary documents, we will represent you at all meetings and hearings necessary to put an IEP in place.
• Obtaining access to needed services — We will work with you to secure any special services necessary to implement your child’s IEP, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, life skills coaching and reading programs.
• Access to facilities and special programs — We will work directly with schools and school districts to obtain access to any necessary buildings, including classrooms, labs and other facilities, and to allow your child access to any existing programs that may benefit them.
