Special Needs Advocacy for Parents of School-Aged Children

Learn to Advocate for appropriate school placement and related services

One of the most difficult considerations in special education is identifying an appropriate placement for a student. Many students who could excel in inclusive educational environments with some supports are placed in self-contained classrooms simply because of their diagnosis. Conversely, many students with complex needs are not referred to specialized out-of-district programs, even when their needs cannot be met within the district. Parents will learn how placement decisions are made and how to respond to when a district attempts to change services or placement or refuses to move the child out of a placement that is inappropriate. This 90-minute presentation includes a Q&A. Attorneys at Hinkle Prior Fischer & Oberweis, P.C., have over 70 years of combined experience providing specialized legal services to families of children and adults with a wide range of disabilities, and seniors.  They have argued many of the precedent setting cases affecting individuals with disabilities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
