Special Education Legal Assistance

Attendees will learn from the EFMP Legal Assistance and Policy Branch about the basics of special education law and how United States Air Force legal assistance offices can assist military parents. We will include an overview of common terms used in special education settings and important portions of the federal laws at play, particularly the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Also, we will explain the most common areas covered through legal assistance and other resources available for parents.
