My twin granddaughters were taken off speech IEPs even though they weren’t exhibiting skills the speech therapist said they mastered. We requested a review because they’d been held back in Kindergarten, were in 2nd grade and couldn’t read. They were denied even though they fell below working memory levels. Now in 4th grade, one child reads at beginning Kindergarten level and the other at 1st grade level. If my son doesn’t have joint legal custody can he intervene to help them? What can we do?
That may depend on state rules. I suggest starting with your state disability rights project. http://www.parentcenterhub.org/find-your-center/
FYI – they never responded.
Hi Kimberly, Your son needs to consult with an attorney with experience in special education law and litigation. Most attorneys who practice special ed law have experience in domestic relations, including custody questions.
In general, consultations are an excellent way to get legal advice and a game plan about what to do and how to proceed for very little financial outlay.
When Pete did special ed consults, he said at least 80% of the people who consulted with him did NOT need an attorney. They needed help in devising a plan to resolve the presenting problem and help to plan for the future.
