An attorney legally represents your child in special education (IEP) disputes. (In some places, only attorneys may represent your child; parents and advocates may not be allowed to do so.) In practice, almost all the work attorneys do is really advocacy: negotiating with school administrators to reach a settlement without involving a judge. Attorneys also bill hourly and are usually far more expensive than advocates.

There are multiple requirements to be a special education attorney. Special education attorneys are usually state certified attorneys that specialize in special education law.
