When a special needs child is ready to start school, certain steps must be taken. In many ways, collaboration between special education teams and parents must occur. Identifying a child's disability and testing to see if he or she qualifies for special education is only the start. Parents must take an active role. Staff at the school where a disabled child is attending must be qualified and well trained.

Federal and state regulations govern special education in Texas and throughout the country. The laws are complex and often conflict with the shrinking budgets of a school districts. In many areas, staff is spread thin and may lack the proper training necessary to deal with the daily challenges of special education.
At The Law Firm of Alton C. Todd, we assert and protect the rights of parents of special needs students against school districts all over the state of Texas. We believe that while their child is being educated, mothers and fathers must educate themselves on the resources that are available. In disputes with special education school districts, teachers and staff, one of the most important resources is an experienced attorney with knowledge of the related laws.
