A Charles Fox Testimonial

  • Are you feeling frustrated at your child’s IEP meetings?
  • Are you unfamiliar with what rights you have?
  • Do you want to learn how to be a good advocate for your child?

Whether you have been through the IEP meetings once or a handful of times, or if you are a novice and have a child that will be entering the school district next year you may want to attend a free seminar that GiGi’s Playhouse in McHenry is hosting. On Wednesday, February 18th at 7:00, Charles Fox an attorney from Northbrook will be speaking at our facility to share with all of us on how to provide a high quality education for our children. He brings to us his legal expertise and will advise us on how to pursue our rights to provide our children the best possible education that is allowable within the school system.

Maybe you feel your child has the right to a 1:1 aide, he/she’s not getting enough therapy time, the class setting is not challenging enough to meet your son/daughter’s needs or he/she should be receiving assistive technology to help him/her overcome his/her communication barriers. Whatever the situation may be, please take a couple hours of your time to come and listen to Charles speak.

Charles is not only an advocate for parents at mediations and IEP meetings; he is also a parent of a child that has special needs. He understands what we are experiencing from the ground up. He truly cares about helping parents of special needs children fight the fight. This is the time to bring all of your questions and concerns that you might have about your child’s future in the educational system to be answered.

Testimonial: One of our current volunteers, Dawn Cummings whom teaches “Signing til Dawn” on Friday nights from 5:30-6:30 is currently retaining Charles as her attorney to provide her the support that she requires to provide her son the best possible education that he deserves.

She quotes, “I love the school district we live in and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. However, I knew in my heart that the school was not offering us the best scenario possible to provide our son the challenges that would allow him to succeed in his current academic setting. After trying to persuade the school staff to listen to our requests as to what our son requires we ran into a brick wall. After much research and glowing reviews I stumbled upon Charles Fox. He was the best thing that ever happened to me and my family. He is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic to our families needs and knows the system inside and out. I will never go to another IEP meeting without his presence. I highly recommend that you come to this free lecture to listen to what he has to say. You will not be disappointed.”
