Parents and advocates are often too quick to view teachers as the opposition instead of the child's greatest potential ally.   Teachers in Dedham demonstrated their commitment to educating students when they filed a complaint with the Department of Education against their Superintendent for her failure to implement thirteen childrens' IEPs.

See the complete Boston Globe story here.

The school district has agreed to provide the children with compensatory education.  Compensatory education is a legal term used to describe future educational services awarded to disabled students for the school district's failure to provide a Free and Appropriate Education (FAPE) in the past.

If you need help advocating for your child's special education rights, contact the Boston area law office of Massachusetts special education lawyer Lillian E. Wong.

It is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education.
