Ensuring FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education)

All children are entitled to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). The Individuals with Disabilities Act ensures that children with a disability also have access to a FAPE. This often includes specially designed instruction and related services. Our team can ensure that your child's IEP is appropriate and they have access to FAPE.

What is an IEP?

An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legally binding document that outlines the specific educational services and accommodations a child with disabilities needs to thrive in school.

IEPs are designed to guarantee that children with special needs have access to the same educational opportunities as their peers, helping to level the playing field. However, the process of developing, modifying, or enforcing an IEP can be complicated and overwhelming for parents and guardians, often requiring expert guidance to navigate effectively.
