Discipline Process

Discipline Process The appropriate next steps that should take place in the case of Charlie is that he is evaluated for his behavior. It is important to determine if there is something going on that has caused the child to respond in the manner that he has and determine if he is now experiencing emotional or behavioral problems alongside his current disability.
According to Dwyer (1997), “IDEA procedural safeguards were designed to assure that students with disabilities (receiving special education and related services) were not arbitrarily removed from their parent-approved program without consent and were guaranteed a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) within the least restrictive environment (LRE)”.
Although nothing in the IDEA restricts schools from taking disciplinary action on a child with disabilities its important to review each case and determine what can be done t avoid the incident from reoccurring and ensure safety of all students and staff. Testing of Charlie …show more content…
Charlie’s IEP can be re-evaluated and goals can be added to help with behavior. Because Charlie threatened with a weapon they may need to follow the IDEA requirements and meet within 10 days to discuss the case. However, Charlie cant not e removed from his special education classes for more than 10 days because at that point the school is violating his rights to FAPE. Charlie has the option to be placed in another program even without the parents consent; if it is appealed the parents can request a

    Manifestation Determination Process

    Manifestation determination is a procedure that is used to see if a student’s negative behavior is a result of the student’s disability or not. A student who receives special education services cannot be suspended from school for more than 10 days without going through the manifestation determination process first (Overton, 2015). The first manifestation requirement that must be met prior to a student being disciplined “is confirming that the student’s IEP was appropriately written and followed” (Overton, 2015, p.190). It’s important to include how the student is currently performing, both educationally and behaviorally in the IEP as well (Overton, 2015). Next, the student who is exhibiting unwanted behavior will need to have a behavioral…

    Henry Hudson School vs. Rowley

    I am writing this paper on the court case of Hudson District School vs. Rowley. I will discuss those involved in the case, what issues brought this case to trial, how and when the case was adjudicated, and the final outcome of the trial. I will also tell how I feel about this case and what it accomplished for the education system. Every student has the right to have an individual education plan (IEP). Although all students with disabilities are entitled to an IEP that does not necessarily mean they are eligible for every form of technology available to them. IEP are designed to keep children with disabilities as current as those students without disabilities. Amy Rowley did in fact have an individualized education plan, but her parents believed she was entitled to more. Hendrick Hudson vs. Rowley was the first U.S. Supreme Court’s trial under the Education for All Handicapped Children which is now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, (IDEA).…

    FAPE Case Study

    While IDEA is a federal law, it places the responsibility of providing a free and appropriate public education to the local education agencies and the individual states. In accordance with the 10th amendment, establishing and overseeing a public education system is a power for individual states. While IDEA contains guidelines for what constitutes a free and appropriate education (FAPE) for students with disabilities, it does not dictate how FAPE should be determined. It is the responsibility of the IEP team and local school agencies to determine what FAPE is for each disabled child.…

    Equal Inclusion Case Law Research Paper

    Although this case does not directly apply to those with disabilities, it did help set a precedent with regards to the treatment of individuals in a school setting. As future teachers, we are required by law to treat all children with the same dignity and respect. That would also include those with mental or physical disabilities that may be in the school system. Not only is it required, but in order to have a positive classroom, we must put aside our own prejudices to help all of our students to be productive members of society. We also have to make sure that the children in our classrooms show each other respect.…

    Al Vs Rowley

    First of all, there are too many factor involved that can affect whether a student is performing at their potential (i.e., lack of sleep, skipping a meal, not feeling well, failed to study, problems at home, etc). These same factors can affect whether or not a student without a documented disability achieves to their potential. Second, IDEA was meant to provide access to a free and appropriate education. Third, if courts began approving services for students with disabilities to have the capability to achieve to their potential instead of providing access to a free and appropriate education, this would increase costs/funding required to provide special education services and other individuals with disabilities might get slighted in some way from services that may be needed to ensure access. Moreover, if students with disabilities were given services to achieve/perform at their potential, then students without disabilities in a sense would be slighted by the law because no one would be addressing the fact that they don’t always achieve at a level consistent with their…

    SPE-355 History Of Special Education Law

    From the beginning of time until the end of time, there will always be students who require special education services. Throughout the 20th century, there have been many laws written to try and protect and help students with disabilities. Two in particular are the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 1990). Special education classes were available in the 1950’s, but the outcome for the students was not what parents expected. The students in these classes could not preform academically, and were considered unteachable. They…

    Section 504 and IDEA contain two concepts that affect the planning and design of facilities used by students with disabilities. The first concept—appropriate education—requires that schools provide all students receiving special education services with an individualized education program (IEP). The IEP specifies the levels of performance, goals, and educational services to be provided and the extent to which students will participate in general education programs. Appropriate education has no statutory or regulatory definition and is, therefore, decided on a case-by-case basis. Court decisions and other rulings suggest a two-part analysis can be made to determine appropriateness: Were the procedural requirements set forth in IDEA met, and did the IEP benefit the student?…

    Attitude, Legislation, And Litigation

    The Legislation brought up laws to protect the special needs and to have them to go to school along with the general education. The Legislation also ensures the NCLB that all the students and teachers meet their requirement goals and given assessments for students for their grade levels. The IEP (Individualized Education Plan) benefit the teachers to keep track or their students’ progress and contains information on how well they are learning. “It is critical that IEP teams carefully consider the implications of choosing an alternative assessment as it may lead to an alternative diploma or certificate and may influence the kinds of jobs and postsecondary options available to the student” (Bowen, Rude, 2005, pg.27). Legislation made a wave for the Special Education and continues to put new laws in to the school systems to provide resources and materials for the students who have…

    IDEA Outline

    Children with severe disabilities had very few rights in the educational setting until the adoption of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA). Congress enacted the act in 1975, which required all schools receiving federal funds to provide disabled children an equal access to public education and mandated they be placed in the least restrictive environment (IDEA, 2004). In 1990 the EAHCA is currently enacted as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The amendment to the EAHCA requires school districts to assist disabled students with transitioning from high school to postsecondary life. IDEA was amended again…

    Occupational Therapy In Public Schools

    In 1975 The Education of All Handicapped Children Act caused public schools to provide occupational therapy to students with disabilities for free. The laws also insured that students who received this specialized type of therapy would receive it in a suitable manner for the circumstances of each student. The law has been amended several times.“Current practice falls under the 1997 amendments to IDEA, which continued to list occupational therapy as a related service that is provided "as may be required to assist a child with a disability to benefit from special education," and includes the early identification and assessment of disabling conditions in children” (Cantu). In Spite of the laws put in place to insure the proper and necessary therapy for kids with disabilities, many problems have occurred. There is an overwhelming number of students in need of the care and services that occupational therapy provides, however the large number of students can not be meet with the limited number of qualified therapists and in most school districts under funding of this program. It is up to Occupational therapist and the school to determine the student's annual goals and what steps are necessary for them to reach them. “In some instances, students whose disability affects their participation in school but who do not qualify under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), may be eligible to…
