What can Dr. Rienzi do for me?
Special Education Advocacy Services
Dr. Rienzi helps parents make sure a child’s special needs are met. He helps parents understand available services, interpret test results, and work with schools to plan individualized education programs (IEPs).
For a student with special needs, learning concerns take many forms. Dr. Rienzi helps families address previously identified learning challenges, as well as pinpoint overlooked factors that may be affecting a child’s ability to learn. These include:
·Learning disabilities
·Intellectual disabilities
·Vision and hearing impairments
·Speech and language disorders
·ADHD
·Autism spectrum disorder
·Behavioral and emotional disorders
Dr. Rienzi takes on many responsibilities. To empower families and give a voice to students, he will perform the following duties:
·Advising parents about services, programs, and accommodations that meet their children’s individual needs
·Helping parents interpret reports and evaluations, as well as explaining their implications
·Drafting requests, responses, and complaints to schools
·Assisting parents with submitting written requests
·Preparing parents for IEP and 504 meetings (meetings that outline the services and accommodations students will receive and how schools will remove barriers to learning, such as providing a talking calculator to students with dyscalculia), which may include suggesting support materials or prioritizing goals and objectives
