CUDAHY, Circuit Judge.
This is an action for attorneys’ fees brought under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), 20 U.S.C. § 1400 et seq. Powers, the parent of a disabled child, Ashley Hardin, brings this claim to recover fees incurred while challenging the educational placement suggested for Ashley by the school district. The Indiana Department of Education denied Powers’ request for attorneys’ fees, leading her to file this action in the district court. The district court dismissed the suit as time barred. We affirm.
