What We Do

Comprehensive Advocacy for Every Unique Learner

Every family’s special education journey is unique. With experienced attorneys and dedicated family support, we help ensure your child receives the education they deserve – through advocacy, litigation, or navigating complex school systems.

Supporting families in many ways, including:

Litigating funding claims for reimbursement and prospective funding for tuition, educational programs and services.
Appealing decisions to the NYS Office of State Review and in federal courts.
Obtaining increased services and compensatory services.
Reviewing all school district documentation, including IEPs and IESPs.
