Who we can take on, and who we can’t

We help parents and guardians whose child attends a public school and whose household meets the clinic’s income guideline. We take cases about evaluations, IEPs, 504 plans and school discipline.

Other problems, such as custody, housing or immigration, we send to people who handle them, and we say so on the first call.

  • Parents and guardians of a student in a public school

  • Households under the clinic’s income guideline

  • Evaluations, IEPs, 504 plans and discipline

  • A referral when it’s something else

Before you send anything

What helps us most, if you have it

Send what you have. Missing pieces aren’t a reason to wait.

  • The letter or notice

    Whatever the school sent, front and back. A phone photo works.

  • The latest plan

    Your child’s IEP or 504 plan, and the last one if you still have it.

  • Reports

    Evaluation reports, progress reports, report cards and test results.

  • Dates

    The date on the letter, any meeting or hearing date, and when it first began.

Costs: free for families who qualify. If an outside cost could come up, we tell you in writing before you agree to it.
