Addressing a Lapse

A child with disabilities went without the appropriate services for months.

The parents and Cuddy Law Firm stood up for the student and won an order from an Impartial Hearing Officer that the school district had to recoup the past services that it didn’t provide.

The IHO also ordered two hours a day of home services, unless the district got the student into a classroom setting in a timely fashion.

He ordered an assistive technology evaluation. And he ordered the district’s Central Based Support Team to prepare and submit applications for the student to attend non-public schools.
