Funding for the Services Your Child Actually Needs.
We help NYC families and providers secure the special education funding and services their children need, guiding you through the Impartial Hearing process from intake to award.
Our Services What We Do
When the Department of Education isn't providing your child with an appropriate education, the IDEA gives you real options — but only if you know how to use them. Yeshdin NY focuses on three of the most powerful:
-
Unilateral Funding
When the DOE's recommended program doesn't work, parents have the right to place their child in an appropriate private school or to hire private providers — and to seek public funding for that choice through an impartial hearing. We help families build the foundation for these claims long before they ever reach a hearing room.
-
Independent Educational Evaluations
When a DOE evaluation is incomplete, inaccurate, or simply wrong about your child, you have the right to a publicly funded independent evaluation. We help parents request IEEs the right way, choose qualified evaluators, and respond when the DOE pushes back.
-
Compensatory Education Banks
When services were missed, denied, or under-delivered — whether for one school year or several — your child is entitled to make-up services, often awarded as a bank of hours the family controls. We help quantify what was lost and document it in a way that holds up at hearing.
Who We Are About Yeshdin NY
Yeshdin NY is an educational consultancy serving families and providers across New York City. We are not a law firm and we do not represent parents at hearings — but we work daily inside the system that produces them. We translate the jargon, organize the documentation, and prepare families and providers for what's coming next.
We serve every community in the five boroughs. No religious, linguistic, or neighborhood limitations — if your child has an IEP and the DOE isn't getting it right, we can help.
For Parents
Most parents arrive here after months of frustration: a program that isn't working, services that never started, an evaluation that missed the point. The good news is that the system has real remedies. The hard news is that those remedies require careful documentation, strict timelines, and a clear strategy from the beginning.
We help you:
Decide whether unilateral placement, an IEE, or a comp ed claim is the right tool- Send the notices and requests that preserve your rights
- Organize evaluations, IEPs, progress reports, billing records, and correspondence
- Understand pendency, resolution, the hearing itself, and what happens after
- Connect with attorneys when representation makes sense — and recognize when it doesn't yet
Private schools, evaluators, therapists, and agencies often play a decisive role in unilateral funding and comp ed cases — but the documentation standards are different from clinical practice, and the hearing process can feel opaque from the outside.
We help you:
- Produce progress reports, session notes, and evaluations that withstand scrutiny
- Prepare for affidavits, direct testimony, and cross-examination
- Build invoices and service records that support funding claims
- Understand what the IHO will actually look for on your topic
- Coordinate with parents' counsel without overstepping your professional role
Our Approach Why Yeshdin NY
The IHO process isn't won at the hearing. It's won in the months before — in the way a parent phrases a request, the way a provider documents a session, the way an evaluation frames a deficit, the way a notice gets served. By the time the hearing date arrives, most of the case is already on paper.
We focus on getting that paper right.
