Law Suit Settled!!
We are pleased to announce that the class action lawsuit filed by the law firm of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher, on behalf of children with autism whose DIR® services were terminated by Eastern Los Angeles Regional Center, has now reached a settlement. The Settlement Agreement, which has been signed by all the Class Representatives and by Gloria Wong on behalf of herself and Eastern Los Angeles Regional Center, clearly states that DIR®
services should not be considered experimental, and that the various forms of service using a DIR®
approach are not recreational or non-medical in nature. All families should have the option of choosing a DIR® based treatment approach. PCDA looks forward to continuing to provide these valuable services to children in the ELARC area, and are thankful that the law firm of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher provided pro bono services to support these families.
