All students with disabilities have the right to a Free and Appropriate Public Education, to be provided by their school district. All children who are entitled to special education services are supposed to receive services and programs designed to meet their individual needs.
All students with disabilities including, but not limited to, those with dyslexia, other learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism, PDD, Aspergers, hearing and vision impairments, chronic illnesses, asthma, expressive and receptive language disorders, and depression are entitled to an individually tailored program that meets their unique needs.
However, because of the complexity of the laws, many parents feel confused about how to obtain the appropriate services. Ensuring that your child receives what he or she deserves can be a difficult, time-consuming, and extremely frustrating endeavor.
In addition, most parents do not fully understand their rights and the kinds of remedies available These remedies can include, but are not limited to: compensatory services, private tutoring, private schools, assistive technology, and other accommodations. Even young adults, who are no longer in school or who have dropped out, may be entitled to services.
