Don't just ask for services.
Secure them.
The school has a team of experts protecting their budget. You deserve an expert protecting your child's rights. Level the playing field with professional advocacy.
The Difference in Leverage
Why the same request yields different results based on who is asking.
"The Resource Denial"
Parent requests 1:1 Aide
School: "We don't have staff."
Request Denied / Delayed
"The Compliance Check"
Mary cites Code 300.101
School confers with District
Service Granted (Compliance)
Market Rate Analysis
Comparing estimated total costs and hourly risks.
Billing Transparency
The "Hourly Trap": Attorneys bill ~$450/hr. A single 15-minute phone call costs $112.50. Our Guarantee: The $1,499 is a true flat ceiling.
Don't Get Derailed by Deflections
How we handle the most common barriers to service.
"We don't have the budget/staff for a 1:1 aide right now."
IDEA Section 300.103: Lack of resources cannot be used to deny a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE).
"He has passing grades, so he doesn't qualify for services."
Rowley Standard (Endrew F.): Passing grades are not the ceiling. The standard is "appropriately ambitious progress."
"We don't do that specific program (e.g., Orton-Gillingham) here."
Individualization Mandate: The IEP must drive the placement, not the other way around. "Cookie-cutter" offers are a violation.
