Steele Schneider represents children with special needs, often at no cost to their parents. We are proud to provide reliable and effective education advocacy for children with disabilities throughout western and central Pennsylvania. This advocacy aims to improve your child’s future education and recover any damages for past harms.
We have assisted children with special needs in all aspects of their education. This includes:
We have worked with children with Autism, Emotional Disturbance, ADHD, Specific Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, Speech and Language Impairments, Visual Impairments, Orthopedic Impariments, Traumatic Brain Injuries and multiple disabilities.

Steele Schneider obtained favorable results in the following Due Process proceedings. The following decisions are available on the Office for Dispute Resolution’s website and only represent a sample of successful due process hearings Steele Schneider has participated in.
Steele Schneider is proud to provide special education representation at no cost to parents. Special education laws permit successful parent attorneys to seek payment from the school district via a settlement agreement or following a successful due process hearing. Steele Schneider provides this no cost to the parent fee arrangement for a majority of our special education clients.
However, we cannot guarantee each potential claim will operate under this arrangement. Your case will be evaluated on an individual basis and the terms of our attorney-client relationship will be outlined in an engagement letter and fee agreement- even if that “fee agreement” indicates that you do not owe Steele Schneider anything.
For families that do not wish to pursue litigation, Steele Schneider offers hourly advocacy services. We can also help connect you with a free advocacy service provider.
Due Process Hearings can sound intimidating. We break the due process hearing timeline down into five steps. Steele Schneider’s attorneys will walk you through each step. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to make the decisions that impact your child’s education. By the end, we aim to leave your IEP team in a better position than when we began. Despite the current dispute, that team needs to function in the future.
