Now that the school year is underway, issues tend to surface for students with a disability. Parents want to be sure that the IEP (Individualized Education Program) is being followed to the letter. If it’s not, they want to address the problem swiftly.
In this Life Happens podcast, learn about the rights of students to an education guaranteed by law – and the recourse families have to challenge the school district. Attorneys Aaron Conner and Jacob Verchereau outline questions to ask and when you may need to consult with an attorney, including:
- Requesting a CSE meeting early in the school year
- How to make sure the IEP or 504 plan is being followed
- Signs your child is getting or not getting accommodations called for in the Plan
- Signs that your child is making progress academically, behaviorally, etc.
If you need a legal advocate to make sure your child is getting the education he or she deserves, call Pierro, Connor & Strauss for a free consultation at (518) 459-2100.
