Case 4
E.M. v. Pajaro Valley Unified School District (9th Cir.) 2011 WL 2714168.
The Leigh Law Group obtained a favorable published 9th circuit opinion in the area of special education. The case centers around the eligibility of a young elementary aged child with learning disabilities. In spite of years of being at risk for retention, inattentiveness and academic issues both in and out of school, the school district refused to find the child eligible for special education services under the IDEA. By refusing the child an IEP, our firm asserted the child was being denied a free and appropriate public education.
The case is seminal in the area of learning disability eligibility, special education assessment and other health impairment qualification under the IDEA.
C.T. ex rel. D.T. v. Vacaville Unified School Dist.(2006 ED Cal.) 2006 WL 2092613.
The Leigh Law Group prevailed over a school district’s attempts to dismiss our client’s claims for breach of a special education settlement Agreement. The Court found that CDE failed to enforce the Agreement and the Office of Administrative Hearings lacked jurisdiction over enforcement of the Agreement and therefore, the student and her parent did not have to exhaust administrative remedies. Moreover, the Leigh Law Group argued successfully that a school district administrator could be held liable for unlawful conduct taken against a parent who advocated for her daughter’s rights.
As a result of the firm’s advocacy, the case settled.
In the consolidated matters of Student v. Fremont Unified School District
OAH CASE NO. 2008100774
The case involved several violations of special education state and federal law including failure to provide appropriate behavior support to a child with autism, failure to consider parent input and reimbursement for private placement/services.
Because the Leigh Law Group’s advocacy, the OAH determined that the parents were entitled to reimbursement, that the school district failed to offer appropriate behavior supports and services and the IEP team refused to consider parent input.
As a result of the firm’s work, the family substantially prevailed and the matter settled without the need for further litigation.
In the matter of CAROLYN H. v. REGIONAL CENTER OF THE EAST BAY
OAH CASE NO. 2007100994
The Leigh Law Group successfully prevailed in an IHSS matter. The issue was whether a disabled adult qualified for Regional Center services under the category of Fifth Category (similar to that required by mentally retarded individuals).
