During a mental health crisis, families may be faced with difficult decisions and little time to understand what happens next. Emergency Authorization for Medical Treatment can become relevant when an individual is unable or unwilling to consent to necessary medical care and immediate intervention may be needed.

WhitbeckBeglis helps families understand the legal processes involved, the requirements that must be met, and the options available during these sensitive situations.

Some disputes call for collaboration, while others demand strong, strategic advocacy from start to finish.

On Love Litigating Lawyers Day, we’re celebrating the WhitbeckBeglis attorneys who approach litigation with focus, preparation, and purpose.

For families of children with disabilities, the start of a new school year often comes with additional planning and important conversations. From ensuring accommodations are in place to confirming services will be provided as outlined, preparation can help set students up for success.

Special education laws exist to help eligible students receive the support they need to learn and thrive. If questions or disagreements arise, understanding your family's rights is an important first step toward finding a solution that puts your child's educational needs first.

Do you know what information your child’s cumulative file contains?

If your child is receiving special education services, a cumulative file can include important records related to their progress, learning plan, achievements, educational goals, and other information gathered throughout their education.

Parents have the right to review these records, typically with advance notice to the school. Knowing what is documented can help you stay informed, prepare for important conversations, and better understand how your child’s educational needs and progress are being recorded.

Understanding the terminology is an important part of navigating special education.

Special education can come with unfamiliar terminology, important meetings, and decisions that directly affect a child’s experience at school. Parents may find themselves navigating evaluations, Individualized Education Program (IEPs), 504 Plans, accommodations, placement decisions, disciplinary matters, or disagreements about the services their child needs.

WhitbeckBeglis helps families understand their rights and approach these decisions with greater clarity. Our Special Education Law attorneys provide guidance through the process, help parents address concerns with their child’s school, and advocate for appropriate educational support when challenges arise.

Not every student with a disability qualifies for an Individualized Education Program (IEP), but that doesn't mean they aren't entitled to support. A Section 504 Plan helps ensure students with disabilities have equal access to education by providing accommodations within the general classroom environment.

These accommodations may include preferential seating, extended time on assignments or tests, modified classroom expectations, or behavioral support, depending on a student's individual needs.

If your child is struggling academically, the school is considering retention, or you suspect a disability may be affecting their education, it may be worth exploring whether a Section 504 Plan is appropriate. Understanding the options available is an important step in helping your child succeed.
