Attorneys
Kimberly Winslow is a special education attorney who exclusively represents students with diagnosed and suspected disabilities across Massachusetts. She helps families secure the services and supports their children need under state and federal law, from preschool through high school or until eligibility ends at age 22. Kimberly works collaboratively with schools whenever possible, and has successfully secured appropriate programs and services, compensatory education, out-of-district placements, and in-home support. A graduate of Suffolk University Law School, she is a member of Massachusetts Attorneys for Special Education Rights (MASER), the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA), and the Special Needs Advocacy Network (SPAN), volunteers as a Special Education Surrogate Parent for children in state custody, and is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Kimberly is also the proud parent of two neurodivergent teens.
I represent students who need additional assistance accessing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) throughout MA. I help families understand their rights under special education education laws, and offer behind-the-scenes advocacy as well as direct legal representation. I handle issues with special education eligibility determinations; development, implementation, and enforcement of IEPs and 504 accommodation plans; placement decisions, including out-of-district day and residential placements; transition planning; discipline; and school refusal.
