It’s the big, scary thing most families avoid like the plague: speaking with a special education attorney to support their child. Too often, people avoid doing this for a host of reasons, such as not wanting to seem “combative,” worrying about the cost (even before they’ve made a phone call or received a quote), and imagining a long, drawn out ordeal. Of course, most parents of children with autism are ALREADY managing so much, the idea of adding another undertaking feels like trying to stuff a ski parka into an already packed suitcase. But what if it doesn’t have to be that way?I’m honored to welcome the highly regarded, New York based special education attorney, Susan Deedy, to the podcast today for a no holds barred interview.As a parent of a nonspeaker (who is finally starting to speak at 13 years old), I don’t hold back in asking all the questions I know you need to be answered, such as:“Should I homeschool instead?”“When is the right time to talk to an attorney?”“What should I look for in a good lawyer?”“Can I actually get my child’s needs met, even if I’m told it can’t be done?”Listen to this episode, save it, take notes, and listen again. You’re not going to want to miss one word. Remember, I’ve always got your back.
