A recent audit from New York State reflects that a large percentage of students in New York City are not receiving timely evaluations to determine needs and eligibility. Moreover, a significant number of students are not receiving minutes of speech and other related services stated in their IEP. There is even a court consent decree on these issues from several years ago that is being violated in the State. It is blatant violations like these in New York City that make parents militant and distrustful, not a desire to "game" the school system and receive more than they are entitled which is one of the common myths about parents.
