[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 285191, member: 3704"] Hi WSM, I'm certainly no expert in this area as I struggled for years with our local school system! But I think that the key is here: "We conclude that IDEA authorizes reimbursement for the cost of private special education services when a school district fails to provide a FAPE and the private school placement is appropriate, regardless of whether the child previously received special education or related services through the public school, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote in the majority opinion." Your doctor's recommendation is one part of the equation, and the other part is the school district's failue to provide a FAPE. That means that you will need to first try to work with the district to make sure his educational needs are met within the system. I highly recommend working with your own educational consultant who really knows the ropes. You can find a listing of local consults on Wrightslaw.com , which is a wonderful special education web site. Valerie [/QUOTE]
