When families are in a dispute about their child’s special education, it can be tricky to know how to handle things.

Rob was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. He is an expert in special education law and disability advocacy.  Listen to learn why families may hire a special education attorney — and what steps to think about before engaging a lawyer.
