Brooklyn Bar Association sheds light on special education law and OATH’s role
The Brooklyn Bar Association recently hosted a significant seminar titled “Special Education Law and Practice at OATH’s Special Education Hearings Division.”
Held on Nov. 16, the event featured Noel Garcia, Deputy Commissioner of the Special Education Hearings Division (SEHD), and Impartial Hearing Officers Daniel Hochbaum and Ashley Grant.
The continuing legal education seminar served as an introduction to special education law, particularly the transfer of administrative cases to the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH). It covered the basics of federal and state special education regulations, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
