You have a big task in front of you. I have been in a similar situation, but resolved it in the resolution meeting. Does your child have a Behavior Intervention Plan? Did you ever have a Manifestation meeting? I would go to wrightslaw.com and read all you can to prepare yourself. Organize all your files. I retained a free lawyer through an advocacy group in Florida. There may be something like this available to you locally. Decide what you want to get out of the suit. Decide what are you hoping that the administrative judge will ...(Answered by aspergermom)

I can't afford a lawyer, but I want to get services for my special needs child that the school district is denying us in California (LA area). We know our rights and know the USD will not give in to parents without legal counsel. We have a meeting (IEP) in May for the next year and they fired the aide that was assisting him in class. We also know the new teacher is not credentialed for Special Ed but the principal sent home a letter that stated she was a Special Education Teacher...that is a bold face lie and they should be sued on those grounds alone. We need some sure handed advice on how to go into this meeting in ... (Asked by JAKE)

I'm not sure exactly who you should go to, but you might try speaking with a local Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (link below). They handle discrimination cases and that type of thing - if the school is denying your child services that he needs, then I'm pretty sure they can help you with this at no cost to you. If your child hasn't officially been diagnosed as special needs, however, the school is probably not obligated to offer extra services. In any case, the teacher should be making modifications of her instruction to reach ...(Answered by Spy Girl)

There is a serious difference between overall slow learners, and those who are learning or physically disabled. Most programs seek to avoid mixing the two, as each group has different learning needs. However, due to funding and staffing concerns, it does happen. The teacher must do the best he/she can to deal with both sets of divergent learning needs when that happens. If you are now an adult, first of all special education has changed a lot over the last 20 years. It now has substance to back up the words in the laws... although there are still some ...(Answered by spedusource)

I guess I can assume you aren't unionized. If you are speak to your union rep. If not I'm sure you could find a lawyer that can help you by looking in the phone book. Or, maybe you could ask one of the teachers thats been working at the school for a long time if they know of someone you could speak to....(Answered by evillyn)

I think it is important you send a letter in writing to the IEP manager and to the superintendent stating your displeasure of this situation. This way if you start to have problems you have documentation. Keep a copy for yourself. Legally, the school screwed up and has attempted to make amends for it. However, if daughter's school continues to be so relaxed regarding delivery of services, you have proof. Your job needs to be based on your abilities as a teacher. If you do not have written documentation of past performance evaluations, get them from ...(Answered by katty0205)
