Are your child's specific education needs being ignored or even punished by his or her school? Is your child being labeled "disruptive" at school? Does your child have a physical or cognitive disability for which his or her school is not properly accommodating or accounting? Do you feel there's nowhere to turn for answers? The lawyers at the Villari law firm represent children and their families throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and surrounding states in educational rights claims against school districts. In these cases, we seek to compel or force the school district to comply with the requirements of the IDEA and provide the student with the free and appropriate education he or she deserves in light of that student’s particular learning difficulties or disabilities.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the federal law that guarantees a better educational opportunity for children with special needs. It ensures that each child receives an Individualized Educational Program (IEP) for a Free Appropriate and Public Education (FAPE).
These laws and programs guarantee not only that children with cognitive or physical disabilities have access to free appropriate education, but also that each child's specific needs are addressed.
The goal of IDEA, accommodating each disabled child's unique needs, is what makes it work. Its regulations are focused on results. School districts can't simply offer one merely adequate program for all disabled students. Instead, they must take an active role, together with the disabled child's parents, to establish an education program for that disabled child's specific needs and goals. This is accomplished with the parents and child through:
