The Law Office of Charles Weiner is focused in representing families and their children with ADD/ADHD, Aspergers, Autism, Learning Disabilities, Tourette Syndrome, Depression, School Phobia as well as other cognitive and physical disabilities in educational rights matters.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (“IDEA”), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, provide a complex set of procedural and substantive rights to students with disabilities.  Because a child’s education occurs over many years, typically with the same school district, we strongly believe that a collaborative relationship with your school district provides the best environment for creating a meaningful educational plan.   Accordingly, we believe in getting involved early in the process to identify the issues and develop a plan of action before a dispute or litigation occurs.

Our services are available through the full cycle of the special education process.  We assist you in understanding the procedural process and provide guidance in creating a documentary record.  A thorough comprehensive educational evaluation is the starting point of creating an appropriate educational plan. If your school district has not conducted a satisfactory evaluation, we can assist you in securing a thorough evaluation and seeking reimbursement for the cost.  We can further counsel on developing an appropriate and enforceable IEP.  Finally, in the event a dispute arises with your school district, we provide experienced litigation services to pursue due process, administrative appeals and civil court litigation.
