Patrick spoke at length about current legal issues and solutions for situations involving juveniles attending general public schools, parents and juveniles involved in the juvenile justice system, and parents requesting special education services under the IDEA for their children. Parents at the seminar asked many questions involving their own children’s situations, such as how to request an IEP meeting, whether they were forced to medicate their children if the school recommended medication, whether school records were public and permanent, and what to do in situations where a juvenile is in trouble with the law and DJS is involved. Patrick offered much practical advice to these parents, and even gave an example of an initial consultation for a parent in the group involved in securing special education services for her son.
