Due Process Hearing

You have a right to be represented at a due process hearing. Navigating through the public education system can be difficult and frustrating. Strong representation on the outset will present your child’s needs in a straight forward, informed way that will markedly increase the opportunity for a successful outcome that will most benefit your child’s education future.

Mediation and Settlement

If the District offers an unsatisfactory placement, we recommend utilizing mediation or informal dispute resolution to secure a favorable outcome for your child. Mediation with the District is an informal process where both sides can constructively present their needs and options.
