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).…
A child with disabilities is a major focus in today’s education. Achieving my Bachelors in Special Education, I need to be aware of the need to ensure appropriate education for all children with disabilities. “The education of children with disabilities is a top national priority. Our nation’s special education law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), sets high standards for their achievement and guides how special help and services are made available in schools to address their individual needs (National Dissemination)”. This is my biggest challenge. I feel with the right tools and help with administration; my job will guarantee a bright future for my students with disabilities. I came across a case, Irving Independent School District v. Amber Tatro. The findings of this case gave me some insight on the statues and limitations that I as an educator have to abide by. But it also gave me hope that we the educators have the right to make such access meaningful to handicapped children.…

Two fundamental rights are protected by procedural due process safeguards, procedural rights and substantive rights (Yell 2016). There are two types of procedural safeguards important to the implementation of the IDEA. Yell (2016) explains that “procedural safeguards guide the method by which school officials make decisions regarding the education of students with disabilities, and substantive due process rights are those personal rights that school officials may not abridge (p. 261). The fundamental reason to follow the established due process guidelines are to protect the procedural rights of parents.…

More specifically, this process is only required when the outcome warrants a change of placement for the student or the removal is less than ten days and doesn’t constitute a permanent placement change.…
This writer was given an assignment of researching three questions related to learning disability. The three questions are: 1. what is a learning disability? 2. How do individuals with learning disabilities process information? and 3. What challenges are related to how these individuals process information? This writer has learned a lot about learning disability and special education all throughout this course, during this research, and during observation time in the classroom. Special education, a program developed in order to provide a free, appropriate education to all students, even those with special needs, was developed because of the passage of laws such as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EHA, Public Law 94–142), later known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and has evolved over the years based on updates in the law (Polloway, 2013). This essay details some of the things that this writer has learned.…
As a threshold matter, it is important to note that the parents’ hearing request, dated June 24, 2008, fails to object to the CSE’s decision to classify X with mental retardation, nor do the parents dispute the CSE’s recommendation to defer the matter to the Central Based Support Team. See Parent’s Ex. A. Moreover, the parent’s hearing request does not challenge the appropriateness of either the March 2008 IEP or the August 2008 IEP at all. See Parent’s Ex. A. Although the parents allege at hearing that the August 2008 IEP is invalid, this argument must be precluded based upon the failure to raise these issues in the hearing request. Regarding the subject matter of the impartial hearing, the Commissioner’s Regulations provide that “[t]he party requesting the impartial due process hearing shall not be allowed to raise issues at the impartial due process hearing that were not raised in the notice filed under subdivision (i) of this section, unless the other party agrees otherwise.” 8 N.Y.C.R.R. § 200.5(j)(1)(ii). Thus, the DOE respectfully requests that the hearing officer refuse to consider such issues in reaching her final decision and…
The definition of due process according to Wilson (2009) is protection against arbitrary deprivation of life, liberty, or property as guaranteed in the 5th and 14th amendments. Throughout the history of the United States, its constitutions, statues and case law have provided standards for fair treatment of citizens by federal, state and local governments. “Due process is one of the most controversial.”…
