On a chilly day in December of 1996, a miracle happened. On that cold December day, Brett Fein, the third of four children born to me, Joseph Fein and my wife, came into the world. He was early. Very early.
Residential Placement for Drug Dependent Children
Every child in the United States is entitled to a quality public education. Children with drug addictions are no exception. However, not all drug dependent children receive an education designed to meet their specific needs. There is hope. Many families find residential placement to be a viable educational alternative that fully addresses the unique concerns of drug dependent children.
To find out more about residential placement for drug dependent children, contact our Hewlett, or New York City law offices.
Drug Dependent Children
Children with drug dependencies are typically classified as having an emotional disability. This is largely because a drug problem is usually symptomatic of larger emotional problem — something has happened in the child's life to make them turn to drugs.
At the Law Offices of Joseph M. Fein, we understand that drug dependent children need and deserve a quality education. Our firm has extensive experience advocating for the educational rights of students with disabilities, and seeking fair and appropriate educational opportunities on their behalf. If your child is drug dependent and having difficulties in school, please contact our firm now.
Residential Placement — A Good Option for Your Child?
Residential placement facilities are designed to meet the educational, social and emotional needs of students with emotional disabilities. Many drug dependent children enjoy great success when surrounded by peers who are facing similar issues.
Unfortunately, many school districts are not cooperative when the topic of residential placement arises. These facilities can be costly, and in today's economy, many school districts simply cannot afford such measures. Sadly, funds are taken away from special education programs in times of economic difficulty.
Our firm is a zealous advocate for children coping with drug addictions. If residential placement seems like it will help your child's quality of life improve, we will help you fully explore this option. We work with outside health and education experts in order to get a comprehensive understanding of your child's needs.
