Let's not get too excited yet...I've just been told by a legal source that this is practically meaningless until all the appeals are done. To: "sList " <sList > Cc:

True, appeals will determine the final outcome, but it is good that a judge actually understood the issue and ruled in favor of ABA. While we in the autism world may all be aware that ABA is a real treatment, many times the legal system rules the wrong way. Let's hope the appeals courts have the same intelligence that this judge had.
