Serving the Needs of Parents of Special Education Students in Ohio
When your child isn’t getting the support they need at school, it can feel overwhelming and unfair. Ohio’s special education laws are designed to protect students with disabilities, but navigating IEP meetings, evaluations, service disputes, and disciplinary issues often requires more than persistence. It requires someone who understands the system, the law, and how schools make decisions behind the scenes.
That’s where having an experienced special education attorney makes all the difference. Schools don’t always explain your rights, and they may not provide the services your child is legally entitled to receive. Owen spent years as an attorney for the United States Department of Education, with his primary focus on special education law. Owen can help you cut through confusing procedures, challenge inadequate evaluations, hold districts accountable, and ensure your child’s IEP or 504 Plan truly meets their needs.
Special Education vs. Accommodations
Parents are often surprised to learn that a child doesn’t need to qualify for special education to receive support at school. While an IEP provides specialized instruction under the IDEA, students who don’t need special education may still be eligible for important classroom accommodations through a Section 504 Plan. Understanding this difference empowers families to secure the right support, whether that’s specialized instruction through an IEP or accommodations through Section 504.
