At Susan Luger Associates, we are experts in advocating for children with mental health conditions to receive the education and support they need. Many parents may not realize their children are entitled to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) under federal and state laws, ensuring access to necessary educational accommodations and services.
Understanding Your Child's Rights
What is the Committee on Special Education (CSE)?
The Committee on Special Education (CSE) in NYC is a specialized team dedicated to assessing and supporting students with disabilities, including mental health conditions. The CSE helps develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) tailored to your child's unique needs, facilitating access to specialized education and mental health services.
