USING SPECIAL EDUCATION LAWS TO COMBAT DISCRIMINATION
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) guarantees a free public education (FAPE) for all children regardless of their level or any disabilities. If your school cannot or will not, then the parent has the right to sue the school district to provide private services at whatever cost those services might be. The law also provides for the reimbursement of attorney fees.
At The Cantrell Law Firm, we help parents of children with disabilities obtain the education services they are guaranteed under the law and fight discrimination against special needs children.
"This law firm is highly educated and has a reputation for honesty and putting the client first. The staff is friendly and caring and the attorneys genuinely care about their clients. I would not go anywhere else."

Your Rights Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ensures assistance to children with disabilities. The law requires public schools create an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each student who is found to be eligible. Schools may also be required to pay for medical services such as speech therapy, audiology, and physical therapy if necessary to help the student's education.
