About me
Kathleen “Kathy” Anderson counsels clients on the requirements imposed by federal and state statutes such as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) and related California law and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA) and related state law. Kathy addresses matters on their front ends by advising district staff on developing legally-compliant documents such as Section 504 Plans, IEPs and related documents, and on their back ends by advising on how to respond to parent, advocate,
and parent counsel demands, compliance complaints and requests for due process. Kathy understands that the law does
not place unlimited demands on her clients, and that her clients have responsibility for managing budgets and the
taxpayer funds with which they have been entrusted. She works hard to prevent school districts from being taken advantage of and strives to enable them to make the most of their finite resources so that the districts can facilitate learning for all students.
