An attorney’s advice on special education disputes

When families are in a dispute about their child’s special education, it can be tricky to know how to handle things. There are big emotions involved, and the law around IEPs, or Individualized Education Programs, can be confusing.  But in some cases, it might help to work with a special education attorney.  In this episode of “In It,” Gretchen Vierstra and Rachel Bozek welcome special education attorney Robert Tudisco. Rob was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. He is an expert in special education law and disability advocacy.  Listen to learn why families may hire a special education attorney — and what steps to think about before engaging a lawyer.
