Special Education Law
Advocating For Equitable Education For Students Across Ohio
Your child is unique and learns differently from their peers. Our compassionate special education lawyers at The Law Offices of Agins & Gilman LLC are committed to advocating for the individual needs of your child.
Here To Help With A Wide Variety of Special Education Issues
We can assist with a variety of special education concerns, including:
Discipline
When a student with a disability faces disciplinary action, they may be entitled to certain protections which will enable them to stay in school.
Due Process
We handle due process hearings from the filing to the closing briefs, as well as any appeals to the second-tier administrative level and on up into federal court.
IEP's
Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are crucial in setting specific educational goals for your child. We can advocate on your behalf, ensuring that the IEP reflects your child's true potential and provides them with the support they need.
Section 504 Plans
A 504 plan can help students who need accommodations in order to participate in the programs offered to them by their school district. We can ensure your child's school is providing the particular accommodations and/or services your child needs under a 504 plan.
Evaluation Meetings
Proper evaluations are essential in identifying and accommodating your child's disability. We can guide you through the evaluation process and make sure your child's assessments are thorough, accurate and account for their needs. We can also help parents understand their child's evaluation, and seek an independent evaluation if it is necessary.
Bullying
If your child with special needs has been the victim of harassment or bullying, it may implicate their right to receive a Free Appropriate Public Education. We can address repeated issues of bullying whether by peers or adults. Children cannot learn in an environment of fear.
