Speaker Request

Are you part of a parents' organization or support group that discusses aspects of special education?

Are you an educator or service provider of special needs children who is looking to gain more knowledge about the rights and responsibilities of educators as well as parents?

Would your organization benefit from having an attorney who specializes in special education law discuss issues such as:

• What is the definition of "individualized education plan"?
• What is the difference between a "504" plan and an "IEP"?
• What related services are special education children entitled to?
• When should parents start thinking about transitional services?
• Who should parents bring to an IEP meeting and when should they be held?
• Who can parents turn to when they questions about what is in the IEP?
• What are services are public schools required to provide to special education students?
• What should a parent do if they suspect that their child is a special needs child?
• When should parents file for "Due Process" and what are the legal standards that must be met?

Executive Director/ Attorney Ms. Jill Dressner has spoken to nearly 300 parents groups, educators, and service providers about how to ensure that the child with special needs remains the primary focus in developing educational services.
