Judge Orders District to Reimburse Parents $456,990.60 In Big Win in Dyslexia Case, you'll learn about O.R. v. Clark County Schools, a case about methodology, teacher training, procedural safeguards, and damages under Section 504 and the ADA. In Big Win in Dyslexia Case, you'll also get the answer to everyone's burning question: "How much does it really cost to train a teacher in Orton-Gillingham?" Prepare to be surprised by the answer. O.R. v. Clark County Schools, is a noteworthy case in several respects: the IEP team failed to consider evaluations provided by the parents and failed to meaningfully consider the parents' concerns for enhancing their child's education; the IEP team ignored the findings and recommendations from the professional evaluations of O.R.; O.R.'s needs were complex so she required a methodology that was research-based, systemic, cumulative, and rigorously implemented; the district's only response to the parents' requests for a program that met their child's needs was "Trust us to provide her with what she needs"; the Court held an evidentiary hearing to obtain expert testimony about Orton-Gillingham methodology; the Court held that the cost to train teachers in the Orton-Gillingham method is minimal and reasonable; the Court ordered the Clark County School District to reimburse the parents $456,990.60 for their costs and damages. Big Win in Dyslexia Case includes the Parent's Complaint, the decision in O.R. v. Clark County Schools,links to caselaw about reading, and other resources.
