The Asburys allege the DESE violated its duty to prepare its personnel to evaluate and educate children with autism by acquiring and disseminating knowledge and adopting appropriate practices. According to the Asburys, this failure contributed to a delay in Daniel's diagnosis and in the implementation of appropriate services for him. The district court** granted summary judgment in favor of the DESE. On appeal, the Asburys argue the district court committed error in granting summary judgment. Having carefully reviewed the record, we disagree and affirm on the basis of the district court's thorough, 101-page decision. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. A true copy.
