Your Child's IEP Rights
FREE Special Education Lawyer*
Large school systems can treat children like numbers. We help families turn evaluations, service failures, placement disputes, discipline, and stalled IEP meetings into a focused legal strategy built around the individual student.
Choose your state: Nevada · California · Arizona · Utah · New York tuition reimbursement
Start with the problem: the school is not following the IEP; the district denied or delayed an evaluation; services or placement are inappropriate; discipline is excluding your child; or a private placement may be necessary.
We use an attorney–advocate–community-partner model to address the legal issue and the real-world barriers around it. Special Education Rights Academy (SERA) — Coming Soon will add practical, attorney-authored education for families and community partners. SERA is not yet accepting enrollment.

Schools receive millions of dollars annually to provide IEP accommodations to children, and they are required by law to use those funds to assist children! Our objective is to ensure that your child receives appropriate care and that the federal funds designated for your children are utilized for that purpose. We work with you and your school to ensure your child gets the educational support they deserve.
Our support extends beyond just students, we also aim to assist teachers who are often faced with various challenges. We address bureaucratic school systems that prioritize their rigid procedures over the well-being of their students. At all times, we believe that education should be directed by parents and supported by the community - a principle we uphold in every case. We use all tools to help you and your student get what they need!
We support education rights and tools that encourage creativity, innovation, and individuality. Our legal team is highly qualified and dedicated to advocating for parents and their children. Many of our attorneys and paralegals are either parents of children with special needs or were once students with disabilities or disadvantages, which helps them empathize with the struggles you and your child may face today, tomorrow, and in the future.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
After several wonderful years in an inclusive pre-kindergarten program, we were excited for our son’s transition to kindergarten at our zoned school. We had meticulously crafted his IEP with his loving and supportive teachers and were hoping for more of the same as his elementary years began. It quickly was made apparent to us that our child was not welcomed at the school in the way we had hoped. At every turn, every meeting, they pushed back and tried to push us out. After violating his federal rights and changing his placement against our wishes, our amazing advocate recommended we file due process.
The attorneys at IEP Defenders were understanding, sympathetic, compassionate and fair. The team was always available when needed, open to feedback, always took our concerns into consideration and supported us through the stressful process of going up against one of the largest school districts in the nation. Our team was able to uphold our wishes and get our child the placement and service hours he deserved. The legal fees were completely covered by the settlement agreement, which was a huge relief to our family, especially during that stressful time. We will be using IEP Defenders for all of our future educational legal needs.
