Area of Focus

Special Education

Special education can be complex and overwhelming even for the most sophisticated parents. We specialize in assisting families through the special education process so that they can meet the unique needs of their children. We help develop successful strategies for IEP meetings. We know when and how to file for due process. We will also work hard to negotiate the best possible settlement for you.

Restraint and Abuse

Snyder & Shaw is committed to being the voice for the voiceless. Every year too many special education students are abused at school. In many cases, these students cannot come home and tell their parents what is happening. We are dedicated to becoming the voice for the voiceless and to helping put the pieces back together for our kids.
