Attorneys representing children and families in the city of Norwalk have secured an order from the Connecticut State Department of Education ordering local schools to correct deficits in access to special education services.

In an October 2018 complaint, Norwalk attorney Robin Keller sought action from SDE’s Bureau of Special Education on behalf of 17 students, alleging numerous violations including failure to meet student needs for services due to an assortment of systemic faults. Fourteen students ended up in the final combined complaint.
