Special Education & IEP Law
Helping Families Secure an Education Designed for Their Child
An IEP should be more than a document. It should reflect a student’s unique needs, meaningful goals, and the services and supports necessary to make appropriate educational progress. When families disagree with a school district, understanding their rights can be the first step toward a solution.
A foundation in IEP advocacy
David helped establish an IEP legal clinic that supported hundreds of families with IEPs, assessments, educational services, accommodations, and placement concerns.
