“After posting
the bit yesterday about the debate in the legislature over vouchers
for autistic students, I ran across an article in the new issue of
Forbes chronicling the spike in autism diagnoses nation-wide and how
special-ed lawyers are cashing in on a new bonanza of special-ed
disputes with school districts.”
Ed Cognoski responds:
Let me see if I have this right.
Feds pass a law saying every child is entitled to an education.
Feds don't fund the program.
Local school districts can't afford to meet the federal mandates.
Parents of autistic children sue.
Health professionals broaden the definition of autism.
Parents of children with Ausperger's syndrome, now classed with autism, sue.
Caroline Walker blames the lawyers: "Special-ed lawyers are cashing in on a new bonanza of special-ed disputes with school districts."
