If you use a wheelchair, scooter and/or hearing aids, and believe it has a significant defect that substantially impaired its use or safety within its first year of use, and notified the vendor/manufacturer of the defect, the Oregon Assistive Device Lemon Law may apply to you.
Disability Rights Oregon's education attorney is focusing on the issue of districts that shorten the school days of children with disabilities because of their behavior. For that reason, DRO cannot promise responses to requests for assistance about other special education issues. In the meantime, a great deal of useful information about a wide variety of special education issues is available on DRO's Know Your Rights: Children's Rights and Special Education page and specifically DRO’s publication Special Education: A Guide for Parents and Advocates.
School districts may shorten your child’s school day only if they meet specific requirements. If your child has been subjected to shortened school days for an extended period of time because of behavior, please go to our Request Help for Shortened Schooldays page, and complete that form there.
If you feel you were mistreated by a hospital, healthcare facility, doctor, or another mental health professional, you may want to file a complaint about your experience. If you want to sue a hospital or doctor for money, DRO is unable to represent or file a lawsuit for you. You can review options for filing complaints and grievances against healthcare providers.
