Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 Southern CA kick butt lawyers who fight school districts for a living: Newman-son-Vanaman 14001 Ventura Blvd Sherman Oaks, CA They assigned us to Jody Ossen . She was awesome (awesome Ossen--said with same pronunciation). She got us more than we even wanted but that is because she " likes the last word. " This is what we did. I had mentioned to the school district that we were interested in ABA. They said " we dont do that. " " That was a laugh since I am in with 8 other moms who have received that service. Lying right to my face. So I spoke directly to the head guy or you could do this at your IEP: Asked them to fund a home program. Once they say no the lawyer will take your case. So on attorney's office advice, I wrote them a 15 day notice letter that said to the effect: We are giving a 15 day notification to .....school district that our son, ......, will be receiving 15 hours of in-home discreet trial training from.....(for example Autism partnership, or Working with autism etc) beginning April 30, 2001. We will be seeking full reimbursement for these services. It went something like that...short, sweet, specific. Then they took the case. You can call and ask some questions first and then the attorney will meet with you. For the mommy in Northern CA , you could always call and ask if they could refer you to a good group near you. Good luck all, so cal lawyer > i'll take the referral > > [private email always welcome] > JoyceW, So Calif, divorced, work FT, Homeschool TWTM, > 5y7m old son, Aspergers/SID, no formal dx yet , but Mom's observations.... > Feingold diet www.Feingold.Org. ; considering GFCF > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
