M.L. v. New York City and C.F. v. New York City Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) protects the rights of students with disabilities. Stader continues to explain, “Zero reject is a rule against exclusion of special education students, regardless of the nature or degree of their disabilities” (2013, p. 166). There are many regulations that constitute this act and failure to comply with them can possibly result in due process. When a student has a disability and it impacts their learning, an individualized plan is written to support the student in an academic setting. Failure to comply with this plan is in violation of Special Education law. There are many components involved when ensuring students with disabilities are receiving a free appropriate public education (FAPE). Stader …show more content…

v. New York City, the scenario is very similar. The student also has autism and the environment that was written into the IEP was a small group setting. Related services were included in the IEP. A BIP was drafted with the intention of improving once the student was in the school setting and more specific behaviors were noted. The BIP was developed off of observations from the student’s teachers, therefore the team felt that a FBA was not necessary. The district at this time had 75 sites. The site the student was supposed to attend was not available when school started therefore the parents were not given ample time to visit the back-up site for their child.

The parents filed a due process complaint against the district due to the site not being ready for their child, lack of parent training (nothing was noted on the plan), absence of general education teacher (a mandatory member of the IEP team) at their child’s meeting, and failure to conduct an appropriate FBA making the behavior plan unsuitable. The parents sought tuition reimbursement due to failure of

The information gathered concluded that Rowley was not reaching her full potential without the sign-language interpreter. Without the interpreter in the classroom, Rowley was only able to understand about sixty percent of the learning instruction in the classroom. With this, Rowley is not showing her full potential, one hundred percent, that she is able to achieve with the sign-language interpreter. Although Rowley was able to advance grade levels, her performance is only reflecting the sixty percent of her full potential. Behind this information comes the decision that even though the school district provides her with the appropriate modifications to Rowley’s IEP, all those combined do not make the same impact as does the interpreter, therefore not providing Rowley with “free appropriate public

Congress granted these rights to parents under IDEA. It has been proven that children with disabilities are more apt to prosper if parents are involved with their child’s education. IDEA was set up to guarantee parents have the right a greater role in their child’s education and are responsible for participating in meetings and helping with writing their child’s IEP and take part in any decision making. The Supreme Court found that the parents did have the right for parents to protect a child’s FAPE.

In Doe v. Koger, a student with intellectual disabilities was expelled based on disciplinary issues. The school denied the student a due-process hearing for students with disabilities. When the family took the school district to court, it was ruled that before changing the placement of a student with disabilities through long term suspension or expulsion, a hearing must be held to determine whether the child’s inappropriate behavior was a result, or manifestation of his/her disability. Doe v. Kroger was a monumental court case in the history of special education because it determined that students with disabilities can in fact be suspended or expelled as a disciplinary measure, but only after a manifestation determination has taken place

It is hard to picture that was the reality for millions of children before 1975 when legislation was passed ensuring the free and appropriate education for children born with disabilities. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is federal legislation that was passed to appropriate money and mandate services for the education of over 6.5 million youth with varying disabilities. IDEA’s purpose was to create greater social equality which in the long-run produced more independent, productive, taxpaying citizens. As with most federal mandated programs, the government’s promise to fund IDEA has fallen short creating an increased financial burden on local communities and taxpayers.
