Big Island Special Education Advocacy
Protecting the rights of children with disabilities on Hawaii Island.
We Serve Big Island Families
Hawaii Island — the Big Island — is the largest in the chain, and its families are served by both the East Hawaii and West Hawaii DOE complexes. From Hilo's schools on the windward side to the Kona-area campuses on the leeward coast, the sheer distance between communities can make accessing special education services and advocacy even more difficult for parents.
LegalAction represents families across the entire Big Island. Whether you are on the Hilo side dealing with the East Hawaii complex or in Kona and Kohala working with West Hawaii schools, we bring the same level of experienced advocacy to every case. We understand that rural and remote communities often receive fewer resources, and we fight to close that gap.
Whether your child attends a school in Hilo, Kona, Waimea, Ka'u, or anywhere else on Hawaii Island, Keith H.S. Peck and LegalAction are here to ensure they receive every service the law guarantees.
