Areas of Practice
Administrative Hearings
If you are facing an administrative hearing for your child and are unsure what to prepare or how to argue your case, we can help. Weafer Law Firm provides confident, professional representation before the Office of Administrative Hearings and other administrative bodies, so you can rest easy—leave the stress of hearing preparation to us.
IEP and 504 Development
IEP and 504 agreements govern students’ access to services and supports and are the key to your child receiving the education they deserve. Weafer Law Firm can save you from years of educational setbacks and heartbreak by ensuring these critical agreements meet your student’s evolving needs and by holding schools and districts accountable to their provisions.
Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying
Both Washington State and federal law protect students from bullying and other forms of peer-inflicted harm, creating affirmative responsibilities for schools to identify and prevent it. Students in physical or psychological pain cannot learn effectively. If your child is being bullied and it’s not being sufficiently addressed, we will hold the school accountable.
Private Placements
Whether you are looking to establish services at a non-public school or to transfer a student from public school to private, you need to know the laws and processes that govern placement and what it takes to demonstrate necessary placement. We will guide you through the process every step of the way, fighting until your child has an appropriate placement.
“Inclusion is not a strategy to help people fit into the systems and structures which exist in our societies; it is about transforming those systems and structures to make it better for everyone.”
