Children with disabilities have powerful rights that entitle them to make progress and participate equally in school, which can greatly impact their ability to access education and be successful. However, too often, their parents’ requests for assistance and services go unanswered and unaddressed. As a result, too many children languish in inappropriate educational settings that do not meet their needs. Attorneys can be instrumental in ensuring that the needs of children with disabilities are finally addressed so that they can learn and thrive. Come learn about the federal laws and regulations that shape education for children with disabilities so that you are equipped to provide pro bono support to transform educational outcomes for these children!

Applications for CLE credit are pending in NC and PA.
