NEW YORK SPECIAL EDUCATION LAW ATTORNEY

SERVICES AND FUTURE PLANNING FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

If your child has a developmental or learning disability, it is critical that you understand and utilize the special education system. Your child is entitled to special services and an appropriate education under state and federal law. It is also vital that you start planning early for your child to transition to  adult services and that you develop a long term financial plan. In order to achieve these goals and maximize your child’s potential, it is important to retain an attorney who is familiar with the specialized legal issues and who can guide you through the complex and often confusing maze of special education laws and regulations.

When you call New York attorney Marna Solarsh, you will not only receive sound legal advice, you will also get the personal empathy that can only come from a parent who has been in your position.

I was a general practice lawyer when my daughter was diagnosed with autism at age three. She is now twenty-one. My husband and I had to fight with difficult school districts for her to receive services at every level of her education, and her transition to adult services has been even more difficult and frustrating. My experience with my daughter changed my career, and for the past  8 years I have devoted my practice exclusively to special education law and counseling families on future planning for individuals with special needs.

As your attorney, I will help you negotiate with your school district to ensure that your child has access to an appropriate program and all related services and therapy. I will help you develop a plan for the transition from school to adult services.

I will assist in the development of a long term financial plan. Many of our children are not able to assume the responsibilities of adulthood when they turn 18 and require a guardian to make personal decisions and manage finances. Estate planning for families will often include the creation of a supplemental needs trust to ensure that sufficient funds will be available to maintain their child’s quality of life while preserving government benefits.

With two children of my own who I have guided through the special education system and vast experience helping other families like yours, I have the professional and personal experience to help you advocate for the child’s special education and future planning needs.

Call me, New York special education attorney, Marna Solarsh to arrange a consultation.
