Inclusive Education
“After our daughter had been fully included in a general education classroom for the first three years of elementary school, the school district decided it would be easier to educate her in a secluded self-contained classroom. I contacted Lara at Cedar Law to help us exercise our daughter’s rights to maintain her education amongst her peers.”
