SRO finds district program inappropriate

SRO 08-052: This is one of the few cases in which SRO Paul Kelly has sided with the parent and affirmed a favorable IHO decision. Kelly found that the IEP did not accurately reflect the student’s actual present levels of performance and needs, that the IEP’s goals and objectives were flawed and inadequate, and that the placement was inadequate without 1:1 assistance. This is a must read, particularly for attorneys or others doing hearings.
