Should I Get My Child Evaluated for Special Education?

If your child is struggling academically, you may want to consider having your child evaluated for special education eligibility. A special education evaluation will help to identify the nature and extent of your child’s barriers to academic progress. An evaluation can also give guidance on how to develop a free appropriate public education program for your child.

 

What Does an Educational Evaluation Provide?

Obtaining an appropriate and comprehensive educational evaluation can help you determine if your child qualifies for special education or further inform your child’s existing special education law program.

 

The experienced education law attorneys at Maya Murphy, P.C. will help you attain the appropriate evaluations from your child’s school district or from outside independent educational evaluators at the school district’s expense.
