My child is not receiving the services or accommodations listed on his IEP. Where can I go for legal help?
Throughout all of your dealings with school district personnel, it is always best to attempt to establish a relationship of cooperation and mutual respect. The first step would be to try to resolve the matter, amicably, with the person(s) directly responsible for failing to follow the IEP. Most often, this is a teacher who doesn’t understand AD/HD and the impact it has on our students. Request a meeting or telephone conference with the teacher(s) or school personnel in an effort to help them to better understand your concerns. Many professionals within the school system have had no real training concerning the needs of students with AD/HD. Parents and students oftentimes need to educate them.
