In what attorneys who represent children with disabilities are calling a precedent-setting agreement, a day care facility with 22 centers in Connecticut and Pennsylvania will pay $20,000 to a Connecticut family whose 2-year-old son was denied Diastat, which is medicine to treat epilepsy.

“This is definitely precedent-setting. Hanging out there were several cases decided on the other side,” said Jonathan Chappell, an attorney with Feldman, Perlstein & Greene in Farmington.
