SPECIAL EDUCATION

    The Law Offices of G. Emerson Dickman is intended to ensure, based on
    authoritative input, that the child's needs are being appropriately met by
    the programs and services provided in school. The goal of a consultation
    would, in part, be to obtain a sufficient understanding of the child's profile
    for parents, educators, practitioners, advocates/attorneys, and others to
    identify what constitutes appropriate educational programming and
    placement. In addition to a consultation we can help you obtain:

    PLANNING FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

    Our approach is to focus on Person Centered Planning. In order to feel
    comfortable that their child will be safe and happy when they are gone,
    parents need estate planning documents that provide financial as well as
    human supports. Such documents should reflect unique family values
    while ensuring safety and happiness in an environment that promotes
    potential, self-reliance, and independence.  The focus of such planning
    is centered on the person with the disability. To effectuate these plans,
    The Law Offices of G. Emerson Dickman can assist with:

             ~SPECIAL NEEDS WILLS AND TRUSTS
             ~HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING
             ~TRANSITION AND ACCESS TO ADULT SERVICES
             ~GUARDIANSHIP AND OTHER FORMS OF SUBSTITUTE                 
               DECISION MAKING
             ~PROBATE
