Education for All Children

Children with disabilities – regardless of their academic, medical, physical or behavioral needs – have the right to a free appropriate public education. Our Special Education Clinic is here to help you be an active partner for your child, know your legal rights, answer your questions and provide support.

Learn

Learn about your child’s legal rights and the school’s duties.  Use our website and printed materials to help answer your questions and get direction on what to do and how to do it. Here are some of the topics you can learn about on our website:

• Conflict Resolution: What to do when you disagree with the school
• Discipline problems
• Early Intervention
• Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)
  
• Transition plans
