Children’s Law Group is well known for its record of success in protecting the rights of children with disabilities and their families. If you believe your child’s school is not fulfilling its obligation to provide the services your child needs, we can help resolve the problem.

Our expertise extends to:

    * Representation in state and federal court
    * Due process hearing
    * Participation in IEP and 504 meetings
    * Representation in school discipline hearings, including suspension and expulsion

In a recent federal court case involving a hearing-impaired student with a cochlear implant, Children’s Law Group attorneys secured a decision compelling a large public school district to reimburse the parents for the cost of educational services it would not provide and pay for the student to complete his education at an oral school.
