Protecting the rights of the disabled

NJ school law provides important rights for children with disabilities and their parents not available to regular education students. Lentz & Gengaro LLP has a specific practice focus on NJ special education law and we advocate for the rights of disabled children and adults throughout New Jersey. We represent parents of children with learning disabilities engaged in disputes with local school districts. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) gives parents of special education children the right to some of the following:

  • Assessment and testing to determine special education eligibility and needs
  • Access to their children's school records
  • Attend an annual individualized education program (IEP) meeting
  • Develop a written IEP plan with local school district personnel
  • Dispute resolution with the school through an administrative and legal process
  • The right to attend private school placements including residential placements at the expense of the school district
  • The right to accommodations in both school districts and private schools that accept tax dollars

Disputes with the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) and the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS)
