placement with the kind of group a cohort that hat was more in line with the student's individual academic profile and we believe that that placement offered by the the district was appropriate but even if this court were to find that it was not appropriate it did not provide a free appropriate education the parents would still not be entitled to a sugary person because the private school here did not provide specially designed instruction and once inappropriate speech language services it could not provide counseling it prove it grouped the student with a much older group of students including some that were seventeen whereas the student was eleven at the time  despite all of this the spite the whack a specially designed instruction piece be despite the lack of consistency between this unit's needs and the program offered ridge the administrative review officers meaning the impartial hearing officer and state review officer excuse ridges inadequacies based on his environmental attributes attributes specifically the size of its classes its daily program and then he went on to say that view was confirmed as as he put it by this notion or supported by some notion that the judicial standard had changed but he didn't primarily rely on that somewhat gratuitous interpretation of what courts were doing we submit he did because the analysis that precedes the jumped and this general educational mood standard and the concept the retreat also focused in on the environmental attributes of this program the s r did not describe the specially designed instruction offered to the student nor could he based upon the limited record in this case this program educated this student largely in a single group with five other students that comprised the student body of this particular school two of which were seventeen at the time the school in its edge of instruction relied on materials from a much more advanced level including reading material on a hasty recommended high school reading list and it failed rides related services that the astro explain nor could he how these field trips and videos were modified or intended to meet the student's particular unique needs have both both the show and the s r o reach the same conclusion correct yes both at ministre value officers analysis is substantially the same and aren't we supposed to defer to their expertise not entirely deference has its limits certainly on at questions of educational policy this court and judiciary arts and defer to the opinions of the the state review officer of particular but only when the their findings are supported by proper analysis and supported by the record and that's not the case here nor is this court to defer on issues of legal standards that is an issue for for the court to decide that no vote and even in terms of deference not all determinations are subject to the same deference in the mh case this court recognized that it was appropriate more appropriate to differ on questions of educational methodology as opposed to the terminations concerning progress or indications and hear range not only fails to provide the specially designed instruction tailored for the student's unique needs it fails to present any evidence of an objective measures of progress that disagree we we recognize that that question is more in the arena of deference but we do submit that both the i and shown the s are o they're finding against the district placement is not supported by the record and is largely based on speculation and that a proper review of the record really short shows that the district provided a program that was rea calculated for the students may make progress both in terms of giving the student a more restrictive placement putting him in a program where the teacher could more appropriately gear the the academic curriculum to his needs and the needs of of other students that with whom we group who had cognitive an academic profiles move more closely aligned with them so i recognise that perhaps difference a stronger ayatollah and the s r o as well as the district court and those deficiencies did not render bridge inappropriate in fact all three of the decision makers below found that bridge taught them in the best way that he learned the district for example lays out the three ts needs that the student have missed on list was familiar with the record we're familiar with the resolutions reached followed with this after all is an appeal so what we're interested in certainly your honor so the findings are correct because there's a preponderance of the evidence in the record that shows that rage at the student unique need for the court on the  objective programs for measuring performance or improvement or anything like that and you know there'd be a field trips every week but   the requirements that teachers for example be certified in special education don't apply to unilateral placement so that's not a positive factor here what we are it's the court to do is to look to the functions as a school i mean i you know paid a lot of tuitions bills i've seen a lot of them a handful of people through school i've never told different cons of schools i've never seen anything like this to qualify as a school just because it calls itself a school that i don't think that's really a question that is before  so in response richard operates like many schools do and linda conner goes through exactly what the classes are in different objects are that are taught throughout the day and it does have a curriculum that meets new york actual education state regulations there is no requirement that the school be codified as approved the only thing that the author wrote me to the side is did the school meet the student needs was specially designed instruction provided that wa small school building and there are merely the students are taught in one room but there are opportunities for breakout rooms where students can go and receive one on one individual as instruction as needed which e m did like and your honor is going back to another point that was raised by appellants on the lack of related services the s r o did consider whether ridge's failure to provide a lot a lot of related services  no your honor guy didn't care instruction means providing structured opportunities for students to interact with one another and that's what linda condor testified happened for example in the beginning of each day at the end of each day that's what students would work on it was  and dr collymore who had the opportunity to observe the program is also an expert in this found that social pragmatics the explicit instruction that needed to teach students to interact with one another  that was worked on and was a very substantial evidence on the record that he is making progress at the ridge school across the three key areas of disney's particularly with respect to his reading skills which have improved dramatically there is objective evidence in the record that was credited by both the five pacific skills that he was able to perform at the end of the year versus at the beginning and importantly for the student his social skills improved immensely his mother for example talked about how before he started attending ridge he wasn't able to socialize or have conversations with family members outside of school now he's doing that now he's socializing and he has friends for the st time at school so for this student it's really  ayatollah's and at their own found that that was inappropriate because it did not meet the student needs justification that the district provides here for the fifteen to one or the same ones that were considered below average and again those are educational there have been other cases where the i have shown the s r o have been in agreement and this court has interceded where the decision was not supported by the record was not appropriately supported by thoughtful now says and i would certainly refer the court to the records quite clear that this working on did not include trained professionals that did not include goals that did not include any sort of bath a dollar tree and i don't think that plant testimony about working on language language  counseling and those are services that would have been provided to him at the the district's proposed placement which is another reason i believe the district's proposed basement should be considered an appropriate placement and the fact that they would were not
