We strongly recommend speaking with an attorney if you believe your rights have been violated. The timelines for the initial request for a fair hearing along with the provision of evidence and notification of witnesses are critical aspects of your case that, if missed, can impact the outcome of your appeal. These are also time-sensitive proceedings, so an attorney can certainly help with that. Evidence and witnesses are presented because this is considered an administrative trial-like proceeding. Fair hearings are presided over by hearing officers. We will assist you in preparing and filing the request for a fair hearing and for mediation. We also attend Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) and IPP meetings to help bring the team together and have driven, focused outcomes with the help of appropriate support and services. If your regional center decides without our consent to reduce, terminate or change services set forth in an individual program plan (IPP), our office can represent you from start to completion of a fair hearing.
