I changed your tags to Civil Rights, Civil Litigation, and Discrimination as those areas are more closely related to your topic.
As far as "which lawyer" can help you, generally I would suggest a civil lawyer that has experience in administrative law and civil trial work related to this type of case. I have handled a number of cases involving Exceptional Students, both at the administrative level (school board hearings, developing IEPs, and review stages), and litigation related to the failure of the school complying with the IEPs etc.
IEPs and related programs are a specialized area that deal with aspects of administrative code (school board regulations), state law (see § 1003 et seq., Florida Statutes, which deals with K-12 education), Federal law (see Title 34 of the Federal Code), and it also deals with discrimination and Civil Rights as the right to education is protected under Federal laws including the Americans With disabilities Act.
Make sure the attorney that you hire has experience in those areas in order to ensure that your son or daughter is adequately represented during each stage of the process.
