the Five boroughs all work under the same NY City special ed laws. If you live in Staten Island, you can receive the same placement and services if your child goes to school in the Bronx. In most cases, transportation will be available. If you live in New Jersey and send to school in New York City, you can continue to receive services because the law says your service mandates go according to where your child attends school, not your home address, once the child is five years old. Of course, transportation will be an issue. Federal law says that if you change schools within a state, your child’s previous mandates must be honored. If you change states, the previous mandates must be honored until such time that new evaluations take place. Unfortunately, unless you tell the new district, and point it out in the law, they will try to ignore it and deny all services for as long as they can get away with it. Different localities, however, have different ways of providing services. For example, outside of NYC, there is no such thing as a P-3. In NYS, this means that your child may be taken to a public school for service and then returned to their private school. In New Jersey, the state provides academic intervention in various ways. In Passaic, for example, there is a program that provides special ed teachers that go into the school to give mandated academic support. Trying to get evaluations and related services in Lakewood, and the surrounding coMmunities, however, is very difficult. As much as we complain about special ed services in NYC, it is a far better situation than anyplace else in this nation. Talk to someone from Florida,Texas, or Oklahoma. The stories will make you cry.
