I just found an autism podcast in iTunes. The second episode deals with the recent supreme court ruling in the case of Schaffer v. Weast, which may inpact some cases were parents try to sue their child's school district for some of the cost of private therapy.
Pretty interesting show. It's in iTunes, or you can subscribe through the podcast website at http://www.womengrow.org/podcast

If you can't see it there, you can see it here at Wrightslaw:

It firmly places the burden of proof on the parents, not the school district. :wave:
