Free and Appropriate Education

Appropriate Education

It's a collaboration of educators and parents

the IEP does obligate the school to deliver the special education and related services outlined in it and to genuinely strive to attain the goals

It's the school district's responsiblity to create an IEP

The IEP is like the heart of a student's FAPE, and it's the main thing that shows if the program is right for them.

Parent Participation

Federal and State law requires parent participation

"Researchers have shown that when parents of students with disabilities actively participate in their children’s special education programs, students show greater achievement and fewer problem behaviors"

Litigation

There is no substantive definition of FAPE

The Supreme Court also ruled that the special education services provided to a student had to be “sufficient to confer some educational benefit upon the handicapped child”

Peer Review Research

According to the IDEA, a student’s IEP must contain: “A statement of the special education and related services and supplementary aids and services, based on peer-reviewed research to the extent practicable—that will be provided to the child”

According to NCLB peer-reviewed research is “research that has been accepted by a peer-reviewed journal or approved by a panel of independent experts through a comparably rigorous, objective, and scientific review”

Placement

Follow LRE
