An Effective Network Providing Legal Support and Services

If you are a parent or community professional wondering about the educational rights of your child or the child you serve, CASE is for you.

We provide free individual technical assistance, consultations, representation, and training through our network of educational and legal specialists. CASE helps you make practical sense out of special education laws and issues that affect children with disabilities. CASE supports families by going with them to IEP meetings as a primary service.

CASE advocacy staff, thoroughly trained in special education law, helps families and school districts work together when designing appropriate special education programs for students with disabilities, who are at risk for school failure, so they can succeed in school, get a job and become productive members of their community.

CASE provides these basic services:

  • Free technical assistance consultations to families and professionals on special education rights, responsibilities and services regarding specific special education students or issues;
  • Direct representation by attorney and non-attorney advocates at Individual Education Program (IEP) meetings, due process mediations, and administrative hearings if necessary on behalf of students with disabilities and their parents; and,
  • Training on special education rights and services to parents so they to can better advocate for appropriate special education programs and services on behalf of children with disabilities.
