Our firm provides experienced, practical and sophisticated representation in matters related to the educational and community access rights of individuals with special needs. The Woodsmall Law Group is dedicated to maintaining a proactive, client-centered approach. Each matter receives individualized analysis and a unique case strategy, tailored to meet the client's need.
We stress a balance of aggressive representation with the recognition that non-adversarial alternatives can preserve limited resources and many times, cultivate collaborative, long term results with school and regional center professionals. We believe that each person, disabled or not, deserves dignity and respect and the chance to reach a meaningful, contributing place in society.

Report
As we reopen the office officially, I am struck by a tremendous sense of admi-ration for the families we serve. Our families are strong, resilient, and perse-vere in the face of adversity. Never have we as a community had to face so much uncertainty. Yet each and every day we remain certain of a few things.

At Woodsmall Law Group we realize that there is more to lawyering for our children than showing up for court appointments.

In the last year alone, our team has dedicated countless hours to community service and statewide and national advocacy efforts.
Iep
Report
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which was signed into law in 1990, requires all American public schools to provide children with disabilities a Free Appropriate Public Education or FAPE. One essential tool for achieving this is an Individualized Education Program. An IEP is a legally binding blueprint detailing precisely what special education services a disabled child will receive, and why.
