Claimant v. Lanterman
Regional Center
A2Z was successful in securing the reinstatement of ABA /
DTT services for an 8-year-old with Autism,
in a decision following a 2-day Fair Hearing against the Lanterman
Regional Center. The ALJ found that the Regional Center
did not have sufficient information about the child to determine
that a reduction was warranted. In addition to a reinstatement
of the 6 hours per week of services, the ALJ ordered a specific
behavioral analysis assessment to determine if additional
hours were appropriate, and how the services should be utilized.
Parents' concerns and goals for their child were to be taken
into consideration in this evaluation.
Claimant v. Westside
Regional Center
Summary: A2Z represented 9 year
old boy with autism against WRC in a fight for
a Relationship Development Assessment (RDA). The
claimant has had significant services since the age of
3, from both the school district and the regional center.
None of these services have addressed the core deficit,
and the child continues to have difficulties with social
interactions, building relationships, critical thinking,
problem solving, and abstract language comprehension.
Recently, he was dismissed from his social skills class
due to disinterested and disruptive behaviors. Relationship
Development Intervention was sought because it addresses
the motivations and "functions" of building
a relationship, not merely skills. The Administrative
Judge ordered the WRC to perform a Relationship Development
Assessment. Read
