In Georgia, every pupil/student has a right to education protected by law, which must be fully accessible to pupils/students with special educational needs (SEN). Legal Sandbox Georgia protects the interests of SEN pupils/students to ensure they receive the necessary and appropriate support to thrive in an inclusive environment. We represent parents, pupils, and students to turn legal requirements into real educational opportunities, while also providing expert assistance to institutions in achieving full compliance with special education legislation.
Our primary role is to act as legal advocates for SEN pupils/students, ensuring their right to special education is guaranteed and in accordance with the law. We collaborate with parents to identify a child's unique needs and then work with schools/universities to develop and implement a legally compliant and effective Individualized Education Program (IEP). This plan is a legal requirement that must be tailored to the pupil's/student's needs. We ensure that the school/university fulfills all its obligations, from providing a special education teacher to adapting infrastructure.
For educational institutions, compliance with education legislation for students/pupils with special needs is a critical legal and ethical obligation. We offer legal audits and consulting services to schools and universities to help them develop and implement policies that comply with Georgian legislation. This proactive approach helps institutions avoid potential disputes and create a genuinely inclusive environment. When disputes do arise, we represent families through negotiations, mediation, and formal appeals to ensure the pupil's/student's rights are protected.
