Special Education Law

Ensuring Texas Children Receive Appropriate Special Education - Houston Area Lawyer

Parents of children with special needs often spend their children's entire lives fighting against discrimination. When it comes to getting the education your child deserves, you do not have to fight alone.

"The secret in education lies in respecting the student." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

At Porter Law Firm, we advocate for families in the Houston area. Our attorney has a personal understanding of the importance of special education, and we will be by your side every step of the way to protect your child's rights.

Navigating the Texas Special Education Legal Process

Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, every child has the right to a free appropriate public education. Unfortunately many Texas children with special needs are denied the education they deserve. Parents are often left struggling to get the services their children are entitled to.

Teachers and school districts make many excuses for failing to provide appropriate special education. Contact us to begin protecting your child's educational rights. We will guide you through the entire special education legal process:

• Acknowledging your child's special needs — If the school refuses to evaluate your child in all suspected areas of disability, we will work with you to obtain a proper diagnosis for your child and ensure proper educational placement. 
• Admission review and denial process — The administrative ARD process gives you a chance to identify an individualized education plan (IEP) for your child. With in-depth knowledge about effective IEPs, we will advocate for an IEP that is truly personalized to your child's special needs.
• Making sure your child receives the appropriate services — Even after developing a solid IEP, some children are still denied the services they need. We will help you take the necessary legal actions to protect your child's educational rights.

At Porter Law Firm, our primary concern is ensuring that every special needs child receives the free appropriate public education he or she deserves. We will get to the bottom of your child's special education needs and do everything legally possible to protect your family's rights.
