[quote=Anonymous]Many of the prominent lawyers who support families/kids for education services will do a free consultation. Try calling their offices and setting up an appointment. Donna Wulkan, Michael Eig, etc. Has your child been screened by Early Stages? https://www.earlystagesdc.org/ That would be the first step in dealing with DCPS. As many have noted above, but I doubt they've gone through the process, DCPS has taken a much harder line about private placement. But if you show a need that you can argue cannot be met, and go to one of their approved schools - there is some possibility. It is very different than stories you hear from people even a few years ago (and very different than 5-10 years ago). I spent 2 years and you have to pay lawyers up front and if you settle, you don't get lawyer's fees back, and got a settlement, but different circumstances. It was draining and awful process. But do what you think you need to check out options for your kid.[/quote]
