Is your child stuck waiting for a HSE Assessment of Need?

Did you know that we are the Solicitors that brought and won landmark court cases that clarified children's legal rights to a proper assessment of their needs — including the right to a full education assessment as part of the Assessment of Need.

We can help if:

• Your child's assessment has not started within 3 months or finished within 6 months
• You want to complain to the HSE about delays in assessments or services
• You've received an Assessment of Need or education assessment and want to know if it's defective or lawful

We offer pro bono representation in most cases, and we respond quickly to enforce your child's rights.
