Expulsion & Discipline

Special Education Eligibility

If you know that your child has a disability but the school isn't listening, we fight to ensure your child's legal right to services.

School Mediation & Litigation

If your child's school refuses to provide the necessary services, we fight for your child's right to an appropriate education.

Special Education Law Questions

Yes. The Individuals with Disabilities Act (or IDEA) guarantees free special education services to all children with disabilities.

No, you can fight the school district by yourself, but a Texas special education lawyer can make a big difference. You may want to work with a lawyer because of the complex nature of special education law and the often emotionally charged nature of the process.

A child is eligible for special education services if that child has:

  • an intellectual disability,
  • a hearing impairment, including deafness,
  • a speech or language impairment,
  • a visual impairment, including blindness,
  • a serious emotional disturbance,
  • an orthopedic impairment,
  • autism,
  • traumatic brain injury,
  • an other health impairment,
  • a specific learning disability, including a perceptual disability, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia,
  • deaf-blindness,
  • or multiple disabilities.
    • And the child needs a special program, services or other accommodation because of that disability.
