[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP

I would recommend filing a formal complaint.  Here is a link to the complaint process from the OSSE website:

http://osse.dc.gov/seo/cwp/view,a,1222,q,561179.asp

This way there is at least a formal record of the missed timeline.  This seems to be a recurring issue with DCPS, no spots for children after about December each school year.   The complaint form allows you to propose a solution.  If you like the program your child is in now, you could request they cover the cost until an appropriate program opens up for your child in DCPS.  Or you could ask that they cover ABA for your child from a private therapist.  By law they are required to provide services (that they deemed necessary!)  for you child, if they can't provide services then they need to pay for someone else to provide services to your child. You may also want to try emailing Dr Beers, the director of Early Stages, so he is aware.  I've filed a few complaints before and the issues have been resolved pretty quickly.

I've had mixed experiences with Advocates for Justice, but they are free.  I've know a few people who worked with lawyers associated with  Douglas Tyrka.  But I just googled him to see about the spelling of his name and this article came up:   http://washingtonexaminer.com/local/special-ed-lawyers-turn-against-one-another-039fraud039-claimed-179k-fees# .  Hopefully you can resolve this without an attorney.

Good luck to you![/quote]
