image of gavelIn the Wrightslaw model of special education advocacy, you prepare for a worst case scenario.

If you are like most parents, you want the school to provide your child with quality special education services and supports - and, you want to avoid a due process hearing.

You hope for the best, but prepare for the worst - the Rule of Adverse Assumptions. (You learned about the Rule in this issue.)

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will learn how to avoid the conflict of due process and how to prepare if you must go to a due process hearing. Find a success story of how one family prevailed at due process - they refused to give up!

We hope you will forward this series to other friends, families, or colleagues.

Prevailing at Due Process: Compensatory Services and an IEP!

Your job is to present your case in an organized manner. Give the decision-maker enough good factual information to reach a conclusion in your favor.

Sample Letter: Due Process Complaint Letter

In our success story, Josh and his parents wrote a due process complaint letter to request a due process hearing. The detailed play by play -

  • documented every detail and concern
  • described no blame, no dispute
  • told the story using facts only

(Learn how to model a letter on Wrightslaw's Letter to the Stranger.)
