  Special Education Law Let Your Voice Be Heard At the Law Offices of Julie Michaels Keegan, we understand firsthand how overwhelming, time consuming, and frustrating it can be for parents of children with differing abilities to negotiate the New York special education system. Raising a child with special needs is challenging enough without added obstacles, and yet roadblocks are everywhere when you are trying to get your child the free, appropriate education he or she is guaranteed by law. Fortunately, Congress has established legal protections to ensure that children with disabilities make progress academically, socially, and physically. In fact, the very purpose of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is “to ensure that all children with disabilities have available to them a free appropriate public education . . . designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment and independent living."
