We are a special education law firm dedicated to the belief that ALL children deserve the opportunities afforded to them by a quality education.
We work with families of students with a wide range of learning needs, such as ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, dyscalculia, dyslexia, specific learning disabilities, gender dysphoria, intellectual disabilities, nonverbal learning disorders, school avoidance, and trauma history to ensure that they receive a free appropriate public education.
In addition, we intervene to protect students who are subject to bullying, restraint/seclusion, neglect, retaliation, and other acts of discrimination that result in unsafe learning environments.
