The New York Times reports that as many as 40% of students who require special education services in NYC are not receiving them! Click HERE to read the article and report. This is hardly surprising information for me – it is NYC’s routine failure in meeting the educational needs of students with special education needs that compels me to file law suit after law suit, year after year, against NYC Department of Education.My mission is to ensure that students with autism and other disabilities have their needs met and funded by NYC DOE.Email me at tracey@spencerwalshlaw.com if you have experienced this problem and want my help in holding NYC DOE accountable.

    We were new to the country, the system, and most importantly, to the diagnosis. We had identified what services our son needed but we did not know if we would be able to get them for him. This generated a great deal of anxiety and we knew things could go either way and that thought terrified us. As a parent of a child with autism, you have many battles to fight on your own. Tracey not only managed to ease our fears on a legal level but she also did on an emotional level. She was our support. She had our back and she was going to do all she could to fight for our son to get the services he desperately needed. She never gave up, she was sharp yet dignified and graceful in all her dealings. She always figures things out and is not outsmarted! She has optimism, empathy and legal prowess – a winning combination! As a result, we got the services we needed for our son. We also were given a great deal of support, comfort, advice, and information that would help to make life with autism easier. She made the entire process as effortless as possible and for that, we will be forever grateful!
