Epecial Education Law

by Megan Hamilton

Apr 6, 2017

I am taking a class on Special Education Law and need to ask a few questions for an assignment. Here are a few of the questions that I need to ask:

1. How has the legal system evolved, as it applies to special education over the past 20 years, and how has that affected the legal framework for special education today?

2. How does the legal framework differ for special needs students and regular students in private and public schools?

3. Who monitors the implementation and evaluation of IEPs in private and public schools?

4. In the legal expert’s opinion, are there any elements of special education law that need refinement? Explain.

I bought a book on Special Education Law by Wright and it tells of quite of few court cases involving schools and ESE. One teacher had to pay several thousand dollars for not providing a student accommodations required by the IEP. Parents are getting more knowledge about what their child should have in school.
