Appropriate Services for a Child with Autism

A New York City child with autism wasn’t receiving the appropriate services.

The parents, with help from Cuddy Law Firm, stepped in to make a change.

The result was comprehensive.

A hearing officer ordered the district to let the child enroll in a non-public school by issuing a notice called a Nickerson Letter.

The officer also ordered occupational therapy, speech language therapy and 10 hours a week of home-based applied behavioral analysis.

And the officer ordered further psycho-educational evaluation, updated speech evaluation and updated occupational therapy evaluation for the child.
