Educational Resources and Services for Special Needs Children
Wisconsin special education lawyer Patricia N. Engel has earned a statewide reputation in school law matters. As a former special education teacher, Ms. Engel is uniquely qualified to represent your interests. She will work diligently to assist you and your child.
Our firm has successfully represented many children throughout the state of Wisconsin to ensure the provision of a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). We have experience representing clients who have a wide range of disabilities, including autism, learning disability, dyslexia, attention deficit disorder (ADD), Asperger's disorder, emotional behavior disability (EBD), speech and language impairment, cognitive disability (CD), hearing impairment and many more.
Our firm is often called upon to protect the rights of students in disciplinary matters at the school level. Parents are often concerned with what the impact of an expulsion will be on their child's future. It is important to know that students with disabilities who are facing an expulsion have additional rights under the law. We also protect a student's rights when he or she is referred to the court system for juvenile, municipal or criminal matters.
