Autism: Fighting for services

A child with an autism diagnosis needs special education and related services. But getting the help is no easy task. Many families are forced to endure a battle to get those services. Federal law allows parents to sue school districts for the cost of private school tuition if they can prove their child is not getting what he or she needs in a public school. And a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling just raised the bar on a national standard all school districts must meet.
