LSNV attorneys advocate on behalf of low-income children and disabled children who experience unmet needs in the educational system. Advocates work to inform families of the right of their children to receive an education, and to improve educational opportunities for children whose needs are not being met through the educational system. LSNV attorneys also advocate for children with disabilities who require additional services and benefits. Advocates provide assistance through informational sessions, handouts, presentations to community organizations and parent groups, and ongoing outreach to other community service organizations. Types of cases they handle include special education and school discipline cases, adoptions (especially by step-parents or other relatives), access to benefits, guardianships for disabled young adults, civil protective orders on behalf of kids, assist with public benefits, adult guardianships for disabled kids who are turning 18, doing Powers of Attorney, and extending permanent child support for disabled children.
