I have this conversation often with parents. It is one of the reasons I decided to offer this private intervention.
As a special education attorney, I see this far too often. Bright and willing students who have much to offer the world are told to “wait and see” while they struggle, falling further behind before schools take action. And sometimes it is many years. By the time help is offered, they are years behind their peers, confidence is shaken, skills are hard to rebuild, and families are exhausted.
The law doesn’t require children to fail before they receive support. Schools have a duty to identify students who may need help and provide appropriate evaluations and services in a timely manner!
If your child is struggling with reading, writing, or learning, and you’re being told to wait, you have options. Early intervention matters. Advocacy matters. Start learning the law, reach out for guidance, and advocate.
Because no child should have to fail to get help.
