Protecting the Rights of Children With Specia l NeedsExperienced Texas LawyerParents of children with special needs often face struggles that other families never have to go through. At the Plano, Texas, office of Leslie R. Roberts, Attorney-Mediator, I am a mother of a child with special needs. I understand how difficult it can be to get the special education services and accommodations your child needs, and I will help you navigate the legal process to protect your and your child's right to a free appropriate public education. Your Child Does Have RightsAs parents, we are committed to protecting our children. An appropriate education can give our children with special needs the best chance to succeed later in life. When a school refuses to meet their legal obligations, negotiating on your own may be a frustrating and fruitless process. I have been in your shoes. - Are you being told that your child is just acting out, but believe that he or she has special educational needs?
- Are you struggling to get your child's school to provide the tests to prove that your child needs accommodations?
- Has your child's school failed to create an individual education plan for your child?
- Is your child's school failing to implement the child's individual education plan?
- Is your child's school failing to provide the special education services and/or accommodations your child needs?
There are many federal laws that outline public schools' requirements, such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act which requires access to free appropriate public education. See the resources page for additional links to special education law. Helping You Meet Your Child's NeedsWhen your child's school fails you, you don't have to go it alone. As a mom with a special needs child, I am dedicated to helping other parents negotiate with their schools to get the accommodations their children need. I understand the emotional toll that fighting these battles can take on parents. Working to reach a negotiated solution with your child's school and the school board, I will help you protect your child's right to a free appropriate public education.
