A: In cases where a child with disabilities is involved, federal and state laws provide various rights and protections for the child and the parents. If a school or medical professionals are not complying with the law, the parent has several potential avenues for recourse. They can file a complaint with their state's Department of Education concerning the school's non-compliance. For medical professionals, a complaint can be filed with the state's medical board or relevant oversight agency. Additionally, parents can consider seeking legal representation to enforce their rights and those of their child. Pursuing litigation might be a viable option, depending on the circumstances. It's crucial to gather all pertinent documents and records to build a strong case.
