Many families who have children with disabilities have trouble navigating the special education process within their school system.  Often times, a qualified special education advocate or consultant can provide invaluable advise and support. 

In a recent article, Advocacy for Your Child: Knowledge is Power, Massachusetts educational advocate Beth Walsh, MS, OTR/L, explains how to find an advocate and how that advocate can become an integral part of your child's IEP team.  Read the entire article here.  If you would like to learn more about Ms. Walsh and her practice, visit her website: bethmwalsh.com.

If you have tried working with an advocate or an educational consultant, and are still unable to resolve a conflict with your school district, consider contacting the North Shore law office of Lillian E. Wong today.

Working with students that live in group homes the parents are not always aware of all of the factors when their child's IEP is being written. Even if these parents are not able to physically take care of their child they still have the right to be involved, and a lot of private facilities place restrictions on them. How can parents get around these restrictions and should private schools be allowed to have them in place?

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