Appropriate Education For Every Child - Our Nation's Heritage
Our children are our community's most precious resource and most critical responsibility. Your child is entitled to an education appropriate to his or her unique needs and talents provided in the least restrictive setting.
Do you have a concern about your child's school or classroom?
Federal and Virginia law provide guidelines describing the responsibilities of school districts and classroom teachers towards your child, whether he or she has educational deficits or is gifted. If you are concerned that your child's school is not providing an appropriate educational experience, contact our firm and an attorney from Jennings and Jennings will listen to your concerns and help you determine what your legal position is.
Special Education
Each child is entitled to an appropriate classroom education. For a child with a learning disability, an individualized education program (IEP) is required to detail the child's exceptionalities and ways in which those needs will be addressed by the school. If the IEP the school has developed is not adequately meeting your child's needs, our Virginia special education lawyer will help you with your IEP appeal. Your child deserves the representation of an attorney skilled in education law.
Virginia Special Education Lawyer
Education attorney Melanie Jennings is a certified guardian ad litem for both children and incapacitated adults. She has extensive experience in education rights, representing both gifted children and those requiring special education. She will investigate your child's case and represent his or her interests at all levels of appeal.
Gifted and Talented Education
Our society's exceptionally gifted and talented youth have special educational needs, too. Appropriate levels of challenge and flexible accommodations for creative expression are necessary to nurture the gifted child's talents. However, these children are often overlooked by a school system overwhelmed with demands. It is sometimes necessary to have an education lawyer represent your child to ensure he or she receives an appropriate education. Let us help. Contact Jennings and Jennings.
