 D.P. et al. vs. School Board of Broward County Florida
This case involves three children with autism who were denied continuing
services as they transferred from coverage under Florida's Early
Intervention program to service provided by their local school district
in Broward County. The attorneys for the plaintiffs argued that the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has a provision of
pendency that entitles the children to continued services. The Eleventh
Circuit court originally heard the case of D.P., et al vs the School
Board of Broward County Florida and denied this claim. In January
2008, the Supreme Court upheld this decision.
