ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to provide special educators with significant and perhaps surprising recent lessons in special education law. These lessons under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act range from the threshold issues of child find and eligibility through the central obligation of free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environments to specialized issues, such as discipline and the statute of limitations. The conclusion emphasizes that legal requirements in special education are often not absolute and constitute a bottom boundary, different from the generally advisable guiding norm of best practice.

摘要

本文的目的是为特殊教育者提供有关特殊教育法的重要且可能令人惊讶的最新课程。根据《残疾人教育法》和《康复法》第504条的规定，这些课程的范围从发现儿童的资格和资格的临界问题到在限制性最小的环境中提供免费和适当的公共教育的核心义务，再到诸如纪律和特殊教育等特殊问题。时效法规。结论强调指出，特殊教育中的法律要求通常不是绝对的，并且构成了底限，这与通常建议的最佳实践指导准则不同。
