Pam, I wonder if there are resources here you haven't found yet:
Yellow Pages for Kids with Disabilities in North Carolina. There are advocacy groups and lawyers there, among other organisations. I wonder if you'd be able to find a lawyer who might agree to help
pro bono or on a reduced-fee basis?
I haven't read the whole listing, but this organisation looks interesting (not sure how close you are to Charlotte):
