Are Children with Autism Covered by the IDEA?
Children with autism are protected by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and are entitled to a free appropriate public education. An evaluation can determine whether a student with autism can benefit from special education. Students with Autism can find educational success if they are provided with a customized learning plan.
Why Should I Attain an Attorney to Represent My Child with Autism?
It is very important that if your child has autism that their educational rights are properly advocated for. It is crucial that your child's educational interests are adequately represented in IEP meetings and 504 plan meetings with the school district. Our experienced education law attorneys can also negotiate an appropriate educational placement if the school district is unable to meet your child's needs at public school expense.
The experienced education law attorneys at Maya Murphy, P.C. will assist in ensuring a child with autism receives the proper evaluations, education plan, and accommodations they need to secure their academic success.
