If you are seriously considering Due Process and/or Mediation, you probaby have a lot of questions. Should you use an attorney?
Will you spoil your relationship with your district? Will going through with Due Process make a difference? Why is my
district making me go through this? Can't the Department of Education just make it better? How much will this cost?
If
you are at this state, please contact me directly and I will send you information about resources that may help you make your
decision. I am not an attorney, you should consult with one. I do not provide legal advice. I provide advocacy
services. My number is (484) 831-5394
One common misconception, though, is that Due Process and Mediation are related.
They're not. Due Process and Mediation are distinct processes, they are completely unrelated to each other. Keep
that in mind. Parents often think "I'll try Mediation, and if that doesn't work, I'll go to Due Process." That
approach tends to delay you from achieving your goal, which is having your gifted child educated appropriately.
