IEP Due Process

If your child isn’t receiving the educational services or accommodations they’re legally entitled to, you have the right to take action through the IEP Due Process system. Whether the school is denying services, refusing assessments, or failing to follow the Individualized Education Program (IEP), our legal team is here to help you fight back—and win.

What Is IEP Due Process?

IEP Due Process is a formal legal procedure that allows parents to resolve disputes with their child’s school district under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It begins with a written complaint and may lead to mediation, a resolution meeting, or a full administrative hearing.

When to File an IEP Due Process Complaint

You should consider filing a complaint if:

• Your child was denied a 1:1 aide, behavioral support, or speech/OT services

• The school failed to implement the IEP as written

• The district refused to evaluate your child for special education

• You disagree with the school’s assessment results or placement decisions

• The IEP team ignores your parental input or concerns

These are all violations of your child’s educational rights under federal and California special education law.
