In her presentation at the 19th Annual CASE (Counsel for Administrators in Special Education), Julie Weatherly mentioned a case whereby reimbursement for private schooling was denied. In this case, the court determined that the district's experts, who testified that the school district had offered a free and appropriate education to a ninth-grader with dyslexia and other learning disabilities, were entitled to more deference. They had extensive experience in special education, as well as post-baccalaureate degrees in the field. The parents' experts did not have degrees in reading, education or special education.Thursday, February 12, 2009
