Disability Attorneys For Discrimination In Schools
Students entitled to accommodations for a mental or physical disability are often denied those accommodations by their school in spite of federal laws requiring that school to provide those accommodations. Disabled medical students, health professional students, graduate students and undergraduate students are entitled to accommodations at all public schools and the vast majority of private colleges and universities. Many times, students in need of accommodations are dismissed even though the school knows the student is in need of accommodations. We will fight for you to receive the accommodations you need and will work to remedy any discriminatory action that a school has taken against you.
Disabilities encompass a range of conditions, not just physical limitations. Examples include:
- Sensory impairments
- Intellectual disorders
- Learning disabilities
- Emotional and behavioral issues
- Neurodevelopmental disorders
- Speech and language disabilities
When students with disabilities are mistreated in the educational system, we can level the field.

Overview Of Rights For Students With A Disability
The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights enforces federal laws that protect students from disability discrimination, helping ensure students with disabilities face no undue hardships in getting a proper education.
Federal laws also grant students with a disability several specific rights, including:
- Equal access to educational opportunities
- Protection from all forms of discrimination
- Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
- Services to overcome language barriers
- Protection from disability harassment
- Equal participation in extracurricular activities
- Equal access to school resources
- Protection from retaliation for opposing discrimination
- Equal treatment in disciplinary actions
- Right to privacy of educational records and information
As you can see, educational facilities may not mistreat those with a disability in any circumstances. When violations occur, taking action helps deter future discriminatory practices.
