Her Glenside firm provides reasonable representation for parents and guardians, and for educators and other attorneys too. Ms. Dragotta's background as a speech and language pathologist, as a teacher of the hearing impaired, and as a special education instructor and administrator serves her clients well. Her legal expertise allows her to successfully negotiate creative solutions. She advocates for children to learn in the least restrictive environments possible. If your child is not learning or you are frustrated by the educational setting provided by the school district, please contact the firm and make arrangements for a consultation with a lawyer with a heart for children.
Areas in which families may need an advocate to navigate special education law on behalf of their children vary. A parent may simply want a lawyer to review a document and see that it adequately addresses the issues at hand, or the family may need legal representation at hearings. Attorney Dragotta is prepared to help with all types of issues related to special education, including the following:
-
Review of documents, including individualized education programs (IEPs) and evaluation reports
-
Attendance at Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, resolution meetings, due process hearings, and placement determinations
-
-
Pursuing funding for educational options, compensatory education, and tuition reimbursement
Recent case involving special education law:
A handicapped child was banned from participating in a kindergarten graduation ceremony. Ms. Dragotta helped the school and the parents come to a creative resolution. The school also provided tuition reimbursement for the family.
Whether you need help with getting the appropriate services for your special needs child; understanding a learning disorder or bullying issues; accommodations in the university or college classroom for adults with learning disabilities such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder (ADD); appropriate goals for your child's Individual Education Program (IEP); or fair hearings for children with behavioral issues who face expulsion or suspension—Call Attorney Dragotta.
