My wife and I met Charles when he spoke at
the Pennsylvania Tourette Syndrome
Association conference in 2007. He gave a
wonderful presentation full of information of the utmost importance
to parents of children with special needs who are forced to
confront the education establishment to achieve the accommodations
necessary for their children. He came to the
conference early and stayed beyond the time for his
presentation. During the entire weekend, he took
the time to sit with all of the parents who had questions and
answer their questions thoughtfully and
compassionately. It was obvious that he spent
the time, in part, to market his practice, but he could not have
done such an amazing job without a heartfelt sense of compassion, a
strong desire to help, and a deep and broad knowledge of the legal
issues. As an attorney, I feel extremely
confident recommending Charles to anyone with a child with special
needs who needs help dealing with, or fighting against, their
child’s school administrators.

I was in the middle of battling the
College Board with regard to getting extended time on the SAT
test. My daughter has a visual problem and
was entitled to get the extended time on the
test. Unfortunately, the College Board made it
very difficult, almost impossible, for us to get the accommodation
that she needed. A well-respected attorney in
this field highly recommended Mr. Weiner as the person who could
help us with our plight. This was a time
sensitive issue, since our daughter was already a senior in high
school and the deadline was fast approaching for her college
applications. Mr. Weiner was steadfast in his
resolve to get this accommodation that our daughter had a right to
have under the law. Thanks to Mr. Weiner’s
tenacity, he left no stone unturned, and I am happy to report that
our daughter did receive the accommodation which allowed her to go
up significantly on the SAT test.

Charles did an excellent job handling my
[appeal for accommodations on the Bar Examination]. As an
older student, I did not possess the typical records necessary to
make my claim under the ADA as most of my prior academic work was
completed prior to 1989. Even with this seemingly
insurmountable obstacle, Charles was able to formulate a strategy
that allowed me to receive the accommodations I needed. I
would highly recommend Charles as he is a tireless
advocate.

Thank you for coming to speak to the
autistic support group. You provided a lot of valuable information
that I will be able to use during future IEP meetings for my
son. I had no idea of all the
rights that I was entitled to and the things that I could request
on behalf of my son regarding his education in the public school
system. My husband and I are
determined that our son will attend college and lead an independent
life. To that end, the information that you provided will enable us
to move forward knowing that we do have a course of action and
certain rights regarding special needs. The work that you do is extremely important and
I am so glad to have had the opportunity to meet you.

Charles Weiner has demonstrated a keen
understanding of special education laws and consistently helps
parents - often very frustrated parents - understand their rights.
He is a dedicated advocate for children with learning differences
and frequently contributes his personal time to advocacy issues. He
has spoken at workshops and conferences on ADHD at my request and
he is consistently well received by the parents and educators alike
in the audience. I have recommended Charles Weiner to several
families and I know that they have appreciated his insights and his
thorough but firm approach to working with school
districts.

When [my son] applied to take
the MCAT, we thought that because of his long history of learning
disabilities and his lengthy documentation, he would have no
trouble in obtaining an accommodation. His request was rejected and
he had to appeal. I feel, that it was only through [Charles
Weiner's] intervention that [my son] was able to get
the accommodations that he had requested in a timely
fashion. I
encourage all students with learning disabilities that need
accommodations to apply for any exam at the earliest possible date
with all necessary documentation. Do not hesitate to engage the
legal assistance of Mr. Weiner to overturn an unjust
ruling.
