Are you a parent of a child with a disability that has an existing 504 or IEP? Do you have a child with a disability that struggles in school and believe they need services and support to be successful in that environment but don’t currently have an IEP or 504? Washington Autism Alliance (WAA) is here for you. Here are some services we have available:

Legal Clinics: Washington Autism Alliance's (WAA) Special Education Legal Clinic online registration form is the first step to determine whether you are eligible for a free legal consultation. The purpose of the Special Education Legal Clinic is to provide a 30-minute consultation (for those who qualify) with a special education attorney. The clinic offers free, limited legal advice and referrals for special education issues. The clinic is not meant to be a comprehensive consultation. If you need a more in-depth meeting, please contact WAA for a full intake screening.

To see if you qualify for our Legal Clinic, go to: Special Education Legal Clinic Registration (tfaforms.com)
