Education Law
Education Law
Our lawyers have experience in local, state, and federal claims under the Americans with Disabilities Acts, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Attorney Brian Fielding represents clients throughout all stages in the development, implementation, and enforcement of Section 504 plans and IEPs, including:
• Initiation of an evaluation or meeting,
• Reviewing and revising current Section 504 plans and IEPs,
• Attending Section 504 and IEP meetings, including reevaluation meetings, placement meetings, transition planning meetings, and manifestation hearings; and
• Handling disciplinary actions
If a meeting does not resolve an issue, our attorneys are skilled at representing clients and resolving disputes at mediation, due process or Section 504 hearings, and trial litigation.
In addition, our lawyers handle administrative matters before Rhode Island Department of Education (“RIDE”) and other administrative and governmental agencies.
