Special education in New York is governed by the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Article 89 of the New York Education Law, and the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, including Part 200. These laws establish the rights of students with disabilities and the responsibilities of school districts to provide appropriate educational services.
Children with disabilities are protected by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and New York’s special education regulations. While these laws provide important protections, navigating the process can be overwhelming for parents. Whether you’re requesting an evaluation, preparing for an IEP meeting, or challenging a school district’s decision, our attorneys help families understand their rights and advocate for the services their child deserves.
Focused special education measures are overseen through the use of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 plans. However, it can be difficult to tell if all of your student’s rights are being addressed appropriately in these plans. Investigating legal requirements, assessing IEP implementation, and filing complaints are complex processes that call for legal expertise.
If you’re struggling with your child’s IEP, getting the right help makes this process smoother and puts the focus back on your child’s needs.
Each student with disabilities must be provided with a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE).
No. After diagnosis, the school will conduct a separate educational evaluation to determine which services may be needed and whether your child qualifies for an IEP.
