New analysis of IEP disputes post Enrew F. decision: https://www.disabilityscoop.com//schools-still-winn/25059/

I know my clients sometimes think that districts are denying services because they are mean or evil. This is almost never true. The reality is that the federal government has never kept its promise to fund special education adequately. This results in limited resources as districts pay for a portion of the services from their general fund. The sad truth is that with limited resources, families without some sort of advocate are often not offered appropriate services. If special education were adequately funded, I might need to find a new area of law within which to practice...I wouldn't mind that because kids would be getting the services they need, which is my dream. http://www.postbulletin.com//article_29b7eb50-3375-11e8-8e

I agree this is a problem. The solution is that Congress needs to keep its word and fund special education at a 40% rate. There would be no problem if that were to occur. https://www.voiceofsandiego.org//skyrocketing-special-ed-/
