Special Education Advocacy Law
PELE Clinic

The Special Education Advocacy Clinic was formed to assist special-needs children and their families with eligibility or Individualized Education Program meetings, discipline matters, mediation, and administrative hearings.  The clinic is designed to bolster the partnership between families and schools, and, along with a companion elective course, is part of the Law School's Parents Engaged for Learning Equality (PELE) Initiative.

Law students, working under Professor Patricia Roberts' supervision, offer their services to families at no charge.  Students also conduct a free training class each semester that offer tools and information to parents to help them become more knowledgeable advocates for their children.
