Special Education Law
The KingSpry Special Education Law Practice Group was established to serve school districts' growing need for expertise in one of the most litigious fields of law; special education law. The backgrounds of our attorneys include work as former teachers, a former school district administrator, a former psychologist and a high school coach. The education backgrounds of our attorneys allow them to better serve clients for their special education law needs.
Our attorneys help special education administrators and their teams stay current regarding legal regulations and service options. Our special education team is exceptional for its breadth and depth of experience and accessibility to our clients. This is particularly important due to the often urgent nature of issues that arise daily, and the short procedural timelines under the law.
We are positioned to guide clients through the intricacies of Section 504, the IDEA, the Americans with Disabilities Act, early intervention services and procedures, gifted education services, transition planning, child find issues, evaluation issues and procedures, student discipline, extended school year services, charter school compliance, crisis management, functional behavior assessments, intervention plans, and other related services such as OT, PT, speech, and adaptive PE.
KingSpry also provides a number of other informative special education services for our special education clients, including articles in our Education Law Practice Group newsletter and topical updates through our and programming.
