The number of students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) receiving services in public schools is increasing steadily. However, the findings of previous research and recent litigation trends suggest that a notable disconnect persists between school-based services and parental satisfaction. As a means to better understand parental dissatisfaction with educational services, I analyzed presenting issues and outcomes of complaint investigations filed by parents of children with ASD in a midwestern U.S. state. A total of 97 electronic summaries of complaint investigations filed from January 2004 to January 2009 were examined using content analysis to identify the most frequently cited complaint issues, as well as the findings of fact leading to decisions in favor of schools. Common complaint issues included problems with Individualized Education Program content and implementation, parental participation, evaluation and case conference committee procedures, staff qualifications, and behavior/disciplinary procedures. Implications of the findings for educators, parents, and future research are discussed.
