Attorney Monica Lombardi represents families and their children across a wide spectrum of education-related matters. Not only is she well versed with special education law, but she also has experience helping families with legal issues related to more general education matters and concerns. For example, families are understandably concerned if their child is expelled or suspended from school for reasons ranging from alleged bullying or harassment to cheating, attendance problems or other matters. Ms. Lombardi can ably review all documentation concerning any disciplinary matter, as well as aggressively advocate for a client at any related meetings and hearings. Given the increased frequency with which colleges and universities are seeking to obtain student disciplinary records pursuant to the admission process, parents are justifiably concerned with protecting their children and seeking the counsel of an experienced education law lawyer.
Finding out that your child has a learning disability or other special educational needs can be a terrifying and emotional time for a parent, as well. But it can also be a time of hope as you and your child's doctors develop a learning plan individually tailored to your child's needs.
But, what happens if your child's school rejects the Individualized Education Plan or refuses to provide all the services recommended by your doctor?
It can be heartbreak all over again. Or, you may find yourself growing angry at the school system for failing your child. Your emotions may make it difficult to discuss the conflict reasonably with the principal or school board members who are responsible that your child's education contains all the pieces necessary for his or her needs. At such a time, a compassionate and knowledgeable special education law attorney can provide invaluable assistance.
You have the right to demand that the school follow the Individualized Education Plan developed by your child's doctors and other health care providers.
Attorney Monica L. Lombardi has years of successful special education law experience - advocating for the parents of special needs children with 504 plans. If you are running into a brick wall as you try to get your child's school on board with your child's special education plan, contact our office to discuss how we can help.
"We don't have the money" is not a valid excuse.
Yes, special educational services may cost the school district money. The money does not matter, however. The school is required by law to follow the reasonable and necessary special education plan developed by your child's doctors and other health care providers. If your child attends a private school, that school must partner with a local public school district to get your child the services he or she needs.
