Our Programs
Individual Advocacy & Representation
We provide advocacy and legal representation in limited engagements for low-income public school families needing help with special education, due process, and student discipline.
Research & Support
We obtain data, and inform the public, elected officials, and other community organizations about the legal access-to-justice gap suffered by Nebraska public school students, and the impact this gap has on all our communities.
Education for Families
We provide education for families, students, lay advocates, representatives and the juvenile justice community through Nebraska-specific curricula related to special education & student discipline, with an emphasis on problem solving.
Community Collaboration
We collaborate with stakeholders across Nebraska to align our work so that families have access to multiple sources of assistance.
Consulting Services
We offer support services and education to public & private entities representing or working with low-income families.
