It’s not easy for parents of special needs children to

rights and responsibilities under the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA), Massachusetts Special Education Law, and No Child Left
Behind. It is designed to teach parents how to be effective partners with
the school, decide the child’s eligibility for special education, and plan,
make decisions and monitor the educations process of their children. The
Basic Rights workshop is free and open to the public. The snow date for the
event is February 12. Based in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, SPEAC is made up of
parents and guardians working to ensure all children with special needs are
educated effectively. For more information, please contact Karen Weiskerger

At 10 years of age, he was described as having “a nonconforming spirit, a skeptical mind, and freelance politics that drifted toward cynicism”. Years later, he would be responsible for shaping many of the criminal defense strategies still used today.
