Fighting for Your Child with Learning Disabilities

Get Help Securing Your Child’s Education in Cleveland

Your child has fallen far behind in reading or other academics. He or she has started getting into trouble at school. He vents his frustration by bullying others, or playing the class clown.

The school responds with punishment, not help for your child.

You don’t have to put up with this.

It’s against the law for a public school to deny your child a free and appropriate education.

You can get the education services your child deserves. The Cuddy Law Firm has decades of experience fighting for the rights of children with disabilities.

Give Your Child Every Chance

If you have a child with disabilities that hinder learning, it’s easy to feel alone. Taking on maze of regulations by yourself is daunting.

But you need to know you’re doing everything you can to give your child the best chance to thrive.

The Cuddy Law Firm navigates the system for you, pursuing every opportunity for your child, taking your case to hearing officers, state review officers and, if necessary, to court.

What Will It Cost?

At the Cuddy Law Firm, we understand the financial burdens of raising a child with disabilities.

Cost should never get in the way of your child’s needs.

We offer reduced cost or free services to qualifying families. In some cases, we can recover our fees from the offending school district.

Who We’ve Helped: Success Stories

A New Chance to Thrive: A school district failed to address the needs of a student with a speech impairment.

The Cuddy Law Firm turned the situation around, winning these improvements:

A new individualized education program including counseling and speech therapy
Testing accommodations for the child
Placement in a general classroom with support from a special education teacher

Winning Better Services: A special education child went for three years without getting a fresh evaluation from the school.

The Cuddy Law Firm argued the child’s case at a hearing, winning a reading evaluation, a psychological evaluation, an assistive technology evaluation and a new individualized education program.

The district even allowed the child to attend a non-public school at district expense.
