Nagla,I read through their " assurances, " which are similar to the assurances they have given in the past ten years, and I don't think they have lived up to a single one of them.  How should we comment?

If the " monitors "  compliance, how do they do it, because when they are not looking, hundreds of children with autism are being denied FAPE and not even being given the dignity of being taught to read in a timely manner.  How is anything ever going to change?

Your thoughts?Haven
