The Law Office of Lillian E. Wong
A Massachusetts Special Education Attorney

The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) recently released its state-by-state IDEA compliance findings for the 2008-2009 school year.  For the fourth consecutive year, Massachusetts has not met the IDEA Part B (children 3 - 21) requirements.  Read the complete report here.   In addition, OSEP determined that Massachusetts is so far behind its IDEA Part C requirements (birth - 3) that federal intervention is necessary.
