Maryland Special Education Lawyers Focused on Students’ Unique Needs
Special Education Law
The special education law or IEP process can be complicated and frustrating for families navigating the system on their own.
Even well-meaning school staff ultimately represent the school’s interest and may deny your child the services they truly need.
Parents are left feeling like they’re the only ones acting in their child’s best interest. They quickly discover that advocating for their child, while also trying to understand evaluations, test scores, and IEP progress, can become a full-time job.
We see our job as taking that stress off your shoulders. We’ve been there before, and we know the law.
Having someone on your team can make all the difference.
