I highly doubt that person got refunded. Probably a troll.

I am in a pretty active FB group and no one has been refunded. There is going to be a coordinated effort to contact OCR about it starting on Monday

Oh great now the rest of us have to see even more resources directed to special ed complaints and suits. They have allocated $32 million for these payments so far. You will be paid. Can’t you just wait?

How is the world do you know the child does not have a severe learning disability? Certainly you must see how ignorant your comment is…

Because they don’t have an IEP

Then they didn’t get compensatory services.

I think there is a small group of kids who were denied 504s and IEPs because of schools being closed who are getting compensatory services too. I know one family who has an email saying “we are not doing testing or special education meetings until further notice,” who has been approved for reimbursement but of course they have not been reimbursed

That should have applied only to spring 2020. Once school started in fall 2020, local screening and testing resumed. So these parents should have gotten the IEP by now if it was needed but then get reimbursed.

Always wanting freebies, but denying others.....

FCPS agreed these families were owed compensation.

Lol! No, FCPS didn't. Some overworked case manager who didn't give a crap anymore agreed just to get the parents off her back. FCPS gave virtually no guidelines on this.

FCPS didn't decide anything. They were forced to compensate parents by the Office of Civil Rights. FCPS didn't give a crap about the kids during the pandemic or now. They're just doing what they have to by law. No countywide guidance was given to case managers. I have two kids in different schools - one school was very fair with compensation, the other wasn't.

I pay $150/hour for my ASD kid's therapy. He was denied over 400 hours of services. I'm being compensated for less than 20% of that. It's not about gimmee, gimmee, gimmee. It's about parents fighting for their children that were denied federally mandated services. No one with a special needs kid would say something so heartless.

FCPS was giving your child 400 hours of SPED support? That seems unlikely.

Yes, he has a severe disability and was out of school for over a year.

Even my child without a severe disability missed hundreds of hours. Many of those were support hours from an IA, but he still did not receive them.

They are not reimbursing you “100%” bc the x hours of support provided by IA =\= x hours of support provided in a private therapy session.

I never asked for, nor expected it to be reimbursed 100%. As I mentioned in a previous post one school offered about 20% which I thought was fair. The other offered me less than 5% of the 400+ hours.
