This important decision announced a new and more demanding standard for educating students with disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and this workshop will examine how that affects the related services and other supports that students with disabilities, including behavior-related disabilities, are entitled to in order receive the meaningful educational opportunity required by the IDEA In doing so, the workshop will explore the legal requirements for the Free and Appropriate Public Education (“FAPE”) that the IDEA requires schools to provide students with disabilities, and how that standard has changed and is evolving post-Endrew.
