This post follows a family whose son, bright but struggling with autism spectrum disorder and emotional regulation, spent a year stuck after a generalist consultant handed them a school list with no guidance on towns, districts, or how special education law actually works. It walks through how Maureen stepped in to identify the right town, the right specialized programs, and the exact testing needed to build a strong placement case. The family took a full year to decide on the move itself, keeping their son in an out-of-district placement in the meantime while they weighed the decision. Once they finally relocated last week, one meeting with the new district was enough to send referrals out to every program identified a year earlier. The piece uses this story to explain what a new district legally owes a student with an existing IEP, and why solid groundwork holds its value even when a family needs time before acting on it.
