Difference between Education Attorneys and Advocates
Education Attorneys have the legal authority to represent clients in court and can provide legal representation and advocacy for students, parents, and educational institutions in a wide range of legal matters.
On the other hand, education Advocates are typically not attorneys and do not have the legal training or authority to represent clients in court. They often work to resolve education-related issues through other means, such as mediation or negotiations with school officials.

Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
This article provides an overview of the concept of Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), which is a right guaranteed to students with disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
FAPE requires that students with disabilities receive education tailored to their individual needs, provided at no cost to their families, and in the least restrictive environment possible.
The article also explains the requirements for providing FAPE, which includes providing tailored instruction, monitoring progress, and involving parents in the Individualised Education Program (IEP) development process. Educators are responsible for creating an inclusive environment that meets the needs of all students, including those with disabilities. Parents play a crucial role in advocating for their child's FAPE by participating in the IEP process, monitoring progress, communicating with the school, and seeking help when necessary.
The article concludes by highlighting the services offered by Special Education Attorneys at K Altman Law, which include representation during due process hearings and appeals, assisting with Section 504 plans, and advising parents on their legal rights.
