New Haven Attorneys: Special Education Law
Helping Children with Disabilities Obtain Educational Services
Children with disabilities often need specialized educational services. Federal and Connecticut laws recognize this fact. Connecticut school systems often must provide a range of accommodations and increased educational support to students with special needs.
Unfortunately, school boards sometimes fail to recognize when services should be provided. The result? Families and children who already face challenges encounter further obstacles and frustrations.
At the New Haven, Connecticut, law firm of Yolen and Perzin, LLC, we understand your commitment to obtaining the best possible education for your child. We have successfully represented numerous Connecticut families in disputes against local boards of education. Contact our law firm if you believe your child is legally entitled to:
- Classification as a special education student
- Special programs
- Tutoring
- Private school placement
- Out-of-district private placement
- Extended school year services or summer school
- Compensatory services
Special education law attorney Mike Perzin provides knowledgeable and committed legal representation. He can meet with you, assess your situation and your child's rights and handle all aspects of your case against your local school board, including:
- Enforcing or modifying your child's Individualized Education Plan (IEP)
- Preparing you for attendance and participation in Planning and Placement Team (PPT) meetings
- Representing you in due process hearings
- Assisting in obtaining comprehensive educational evaluations
Your child deserves every educational opportunity provided by law. Your child may be entitled to additional services when standard educational methods fail. Your child may be eligible for out-of-district services when your own district is unable to provide an appropriate educational program.
