I loved listening to you on The Coffee Klatch. In the program it was mentioned it was against the law to change locations of services. Where in the law is this at. There is a situation where location were changes were made and then IEP was changed after the fact. Thanks.

Thanks Dawn.
Take a look at the following link:

The SD is suppossed to provide you with PWN prior to any change of placement. If you disagree in writing regarding the change of placement they cannot unilaterally move your child.
The SD would have to then take you to Due Process and convince a hearing officer that their placement is appropriate. If they have already moved your child without your consent you would need to file for Due Process to get them returned to the prior placement.
Thanks Dennise
