The lawyers at Tully Rinckey PLLC understand how frustrating it can be when a school is failing to meet the proper educational standards for your child with a disability.

Jennifer R. Sunderlin, Esq. is an associate attorney at the firm who is available to represent clients with disabilities at all phases of school or educational proceedings. This includes the development of effective Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and plans under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Prior to joining Tully Rinckey, Jennifer worked for the Civil Rights & Disabilities Law Project at the Albany Law Clinic & Justice Center, representing special needs clients in education matters.

Congress passed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to ensure all children with disabilities have available to them a free appropriate public education designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for future education, employment and independent living. The law states that you have the right to request special education eligibility and an IEP to get the services and accommodations your child deserves, and Tully Rinckey can help.

Our education attorneys can help you and your child appropriately address matters regarding:

• Remedial education and educational placements
• Classroom aides
• Obtaining special services through the school, such as speech, occupational or physical therapy
• School discipline, detention or suspension
• School bullies

In addition, our attorneys can help you plan for the future of your child with special needs by lending our advice and guidance in estate, disability and guardianship planning.
