Special Education Civil Rights

The IDEA ensures that children with disabilities are included in their school day, protecting their rights and guaranteeing a free and appropriate public education. San Diego civil rights attorneys use these protections to safeguard the civil rights of all children with disabilities, ensuring they are not discriminated against and have equal educational opportunities.

Attorneys & Advocates

The roles of attorneys and advocates for special education students are very similar, but there are important differences. Both guide parents through the special education process, review educational records, advise on working with schools, inform parents of their child’s rights, and may make recommendations. Attorneys can provide legal representation, while advocates offer support and guidance.

How to Advocate for Your Child

You don’t need to be an attorney for special education students to be a strong advocate for your child. It's essential to be informed about what special education is, who is entitled to receive it, when it's appropriate, and how services should be delivered.
