Rhode Island Special Education Lawyer

Robinson & Clapham in Providence, Rhode Island, is dedicated to helping children with special needs receive the educational services they need to be successful.

Our lawyers are experts in all phases of special education, including:

• Testing and assessment
• Evaluation, placement, and delivery of an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for your child
• Your rights under the No Child Left Behind Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act

Every child has a right to a free appropriate public education (FAPE). In addition, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) provides federal funding to help school districts improve educational results for children with disabilities. If your present school is unable to meet your child's needs, you have a right to seek placement for your child at a school outside your district.

Our attorneys are available to advise you of your rights under federal law and serve as an advocate through the legal process of creating an IEP, including the due process hearing and mediation. We will work with special education experts who can testify on your child's behalf. Our lawyers will help you work effectively with the school's multidisciplinary team (MDT) to ensure your child receives educational services in the least restrictive environment as guaranteed under federal law.
