Sometimes the parent sitting across the IEP table isn’t “difficult.”
They’re exhausted.
That meeting may be one small piece of a week filled with evaluations, appointments, insurance calls, school emails, paperwork, and the constant responsibility of making sure their child gets what they need.
And that’s why small things can matter so much.
Be transparent when there’s a constraint.
Talk about the child’s strengths—not only their challenges.
And treat parents as members of the team, not an audience receiving decisions that have already been made.
Parents and educators may experience different sides of the system, but they’re showing up for the same child.
A little clarity, empathy, and collaboration can completely change the tone of the room.
Save this and share it with someone on either side of the IEP table.

You receive a Title IX complaint. Your first instinct is to explain yourself to everyone involved. But that next message could complicate your case. 📱⚖️
For Jordan, a 21-year-old college student, receiving an official Title IX notice comes as a shock.
He wants to contact the other student, reach out to mutual friends, and immediately tell his side of the story.
But in a university Title IX investigation, communications and actions taken after receiving notice can become relevant to the process.
Texts, emails, social media activity, conversations with potential witnesses, and deleted messages may all raise questions during an investigation.
If you're facing a Title IX allegation, your next steps matter.
Preserve relevant communications and evidence without deleting or altering anything. Review your university's Title IX procedures, identify applicable deadlines, understand your rights, and exercise caution before contacting anyone involved in the matter.
A Title IX allegation is not a finding of responsibility. Students deserve a fair process and a meaningful opportunity to respond to the allegations against them.
K Altman Law represents students nationwide in Title IX investigations, hearings, and university disciplinary proceedings, helping them understand their rights and navigate complex institutional procedures.
Before you respond emotionally, understand the process you're entering.

When you're already planning how to spend your six-figure NIL deal… but the sponsor's bank account has other plans. 💀💸
A big NIL offer sounds exciting, but a promised payout isn't the same as a guaranteed payday.
Before signing, student-athletes should look beyond the headline number. Payment schedules, financial obligations, termination clauses, and remedies for nonpayment can determine what happens when a sponsor fails to deliver.
At K Altman Law, our NIL team helps student-athletes review and negotiate agreements, understand payment protections, and navigate disputes when deals don't go as planned.
Because your NIL deal should be more than a big number and a bigger promise. 🏆

The NIL deal looks perfect. The contract? That’s where things get complicated. ⚽👀
Avery, a 19-year-old college soccer player, receives an exciting sponsorship offer from a sportswear brand. The compensation is attractive, the exposure is valuable, and everything seems like a great fit.
Until she discovers that the agreement requires her to promote products that may conflict with her university's existing apparel partnership.
And that's not the only concern. Exclusivity provisions could potentially limit her ability to pursue other sponsorship opportunities.
Before signing an NIL agreement, student-athletes should look beyond the dollar amount.
Review the exclusivity terms, required appearances, content obligations, licensing rights, and termination provisions. Just as importantly, understand how the agreement interacts with applicable university, conference, NCAA, and other NIL requirements.
At K Altman Law, our NIL team helps student-athletes evaluate agreements, navigate compliance concerns, and protect their interests while pursuing opportunities that can shape their athletic and professional futures.
A great NIL deal should open doors, not create unnecessary obstacles.

IEP stands for Individualized Education Program for a reason. 😅
Two students can have the same diagnosis and still need completely different accommodations, services, goals, and supports.
Special education isn’t supposed to be one-size-fits-all.
The conversation should start with the individual student: their needs, their data, their strengths, and the barriers affecting their access to education.
Not: “This is what we give everyone.”

When everyone agrees the support is helping… but putting it in writing suddenly changes the conversation. 👀
If a student needs a particular support, accommodation, service, or intervention, parents can ask the IEP team to discuss whether it should be formally documented in the IEP.
Because there’s a big difference between:
“We usually do that.”
and
“It’s written into the plan.”
Document the supports your child needs—and ask questions when something important is being handled informally.

Sometimes the resistance you experience in an IEP meeting isn’t personal.
There may be another layer in the room: funding.
Some supports—such as additional staffing, outside evaluations, or specialized placements—can carry significant costs for a district. Understanding that financial pressure doesn’t mean accepting an inappropriate denial of support.
It means recognizing where friction may arise and coming prepared.
Bring documentation. Bring data. Be clear about what your child needs. And try to separate resistance to the request from hostility toward you personally.
Understanding the system doesn’t mean you stop advocating.
It can help you advocate more strategically.
Save this for the next time an IEP request starts getting pushback.

That NIL deal looked great… until you realized “exclusive” actually meant exclusive. 😬
NIL agreements can include restrictions that affect which brands you can work with, what categories you’re locked out of, and how long those limitations last.
The lesson: the dollar amount isn’t the only part of the contract that matters.
Read the restrictions. Understand the term. Know what you’re giving up before you sign.

"Your report has been received and is under review."

For many students, that's the last thing they hear for weeks.

When serious misconduct is reported, delay isn't neutral. Students may keep sharing classrooms, dorms, and campus spaces while they wait for answers.

Schools can act promptly and fairly at the same time. That means offering supportive measures, investigating carefully, and making sure discipline reflects what was actually found.

Students and families deserve to know why an outcome was reached.
