Special Education Case May Have Impact on Children with Autism - What's Your Opinion?
By Lisa Jo Rudy
About.com: Autism

If you've been following the case of Board of Education v. Tom F., you'll know that it involves the family of a learning-disabled child who sought private school tuition reimbursement from the New York City School District. The reason for the suit: the family (that of former Viacom chief Tom Freston) sought private school tuition from the district WITHOUT "giving the city's public school program a chance to meet the boy's needs." In other words, the family refused to accept an educational placement that they felt was inappropriate - and instead decided on their own to move their child to private school - on the school district's nickel.
