History
The Parents in the above-captioned matter request that the Hearing Officer’s
decision be reversed and the Parents be named prevailing parties because the
decision cannot be supported because an error the law has been committed
and the record read in its entirety would compel a contradictory conclusion.
Also the H.O. has abused its discretion in reaching his decision such that
Parents have experienced extreme prejudice in their case which would
justify the decision be reversed in favor of the Parents for a denial of FAPE.
The issues are a lack of Child Find, substantive and procedural errors, no
prior written notice, and lack of credibility of witnesses to support decision.
K.R. entered the Philadelphia School District through the early intervention
program at the age of five-and-a-half. She was identified as having ADHD
and congenital brain damage and a student who was in need of special
education and related services. As a result of the parents filing a due process
request in May of 2005, Kirsten was independently re-evaluated by two
psychologists who diagnosed K.R. with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
Pervasive Developmental Disorders -
