OUR MISSION, COMMITMENT & PHILOSOPHY

     Our Mission is to help you ensure that your child is being provided
with an educational program that is not just appropriate, but that truly
meets his or her individualized needs.

     Our Commitment is to help children with special learning needs
gain access to the educational opportunities that are their right under
the law, whether they are provided in a public or private school
environment.   

    Our Philosophy is that taking a knowledge-based, professional, collaborative approach to working
with school personnel is preferable to a combative approach. However, when disagreements arise -- as
they invariably will -- we negotiate on your behalf and, if necessary, seek an agreement on the disputed
issues through Due Process Mediation. If agreement cannot be reached, the work we have done on your
behalf will have prepared you well to pursue a legal solution, and we will provide you with a list of
attorneys for you to interview whose primary focus is on special education and disabilities law.
