Guest guest Posted May 7, 1999 Report Share Posted May 7, 1999 Celeste, I believe if you win the school district will have to pay for the attorney fees. But I do know you go before a Education System. (can't remember the name) Call them first and let them know exactly what is going on. Sometimes if you tell them they can help you. ---------- > > To: CHARGEonelist > Subject: Re: Celeste > Date: Friday, May 07, 1999 12:01 PM > > > > Thanks so much , I was trying to find out where I could find an attorney who is knowledgeable in special > education.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 1999 Report Share Posted May 7, 1999 A helpful group in Chicago is called Family Resource Center. I have taken a number of workshop on special education and IDEA. They are located on Avenue (downtown Chicago) I think there are other locations, but I'm not 100% certain. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
