Mayerson & Associates has a longstanding tradition of writing and speaking on educational rights issues. This is all part of our mission to “raise the bar.” On Saturday, June 2, 2012, Associate Maria McGinley, formerly a New York City Special Education teacher, lectured an audience of attorneys at Seton Hall Law School about the process and procedure of representing special needs children in educational rights disputes. In addition to reviewing the pertinent legal standards, Maria lectured on how parents and school districts can work collaboratively to negotiate effective and appropriate educational plans.
