San Bernardino Special Education Attorney – Standing Up for Students
Parents in San Bernardino often face uphill battles when advocating for their child’s education. At Law Office of Janina Botchis - Speak For Your Child, we help families across San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) and neighboring districts ensure their children receive the supports and services required by federal and state law.
Common Challenges in San Bernardino
We frequently hear from parents after:
SBCUSD delays or denies evaluations.
The IEP team insists on “one-size-fits-all” services that don’t address real needs.
Requests for outside assessments (IEEs) are rejected.
A child is moved to a restrictive setting without proper justification.
Schools fail to implement services or provide necessary accommodations.
