[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just an FYI, it will be a private placement at a school with only children with special needs as well, so there won’t be any inclusion (if you care).

You have to prove their current setting isn’t FAPE and negligence, the staff likely also has to be fed up with you enough to lose the court case. Private placement is extremely difficult to get and your child will have to have very significant and multiple disabilities or severe behavioral needs.

How is their current school not meeting your child’s needs?

Don’t think you have to prove negligence. You have to prove that a program that provides FAPE for your child does not exist within DCPS. For our kid, we had to show that there was no grade level autism classroom that could meet his behavioral and academic needs.   It also helps if you have an idea of which SN school will for your kiddo and if they have room.  [/quote]

Eh, proving negligence would certainly make it easier. And I think you got lucky. If you mean academic needs in the sense your child was above grade level they have HFA CES programs, even without that I know just a regular one should meet your child’s needs academically and behaviorally, unless the behaviors were ED level.

At least from what I’ve seen in recent years DCPS has become more strict and it really has to be the school that drops the ball.[/quote]
