At the end of her second-grade year, following the recommendations of Paige\u2019s teachers and therapists, the Committee on Special Education (CSE) recommended that Paige be placed in a self-contained, 12-student special education class at a community school. When Paige's family was finally given an opportunity to visit the school in early September, they learned that it did not, in fact, have any classes that matched the type that was recommended. Instead, the only special education class available to Paige was an integrated co-teaching class with around 30 students. Paige\u2019s mom immediately rejected this placement, but the DOE never responded to offer an alternative, despite repeated requests from Paige\u2019s mother. Meanwhile, Paige sat at home, receiving neither academic instruction nor crucial therapeutic support.\r\n\r\nAFC intervened, exploring multiple programs, including the DOE\u2019s own NEST Program, to find an appropriate school that would accept Paige. After Paige was rejected from NEST in October, AFC reached out to Gersh Academy, a private school specializing in serving children with autism spectrum disorders. Paige finally started third grade at Gersh at the end of October 2013. AFC requested an impartial hearing and secured Paige\u2019s full tuition for Gersh, where she has flourished both academically and socially. In addition, AFC won an order directing the DOE to pay for her participation in the school\u2019s summer program to help compensate for the nearly two months she was out of school. In his decision, the impartial hearing officer noted that the DOE\u2019s attempt to place Paige in the 30-student community school class <em>\u201cignor\u00f3 por completo las necesidades del estudiante.
