Disability law cases BY KELLY JEAN SULLIVAN

 


Disability law cases under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) have significantly shaped the educational rights of students with disabilities in the United States. Notable cases like Board of Education v. Rowley (1982) established the standard for a "free appropriate public education" (FAPE), ruling that schools must provide personalized instruction with sufficient support services to permit the child to benefit educationally. Another landmark case, Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District (2017), raised the bar by determining that a student's educational program must be "appropriately ambitious" in light of their circumstances, ensuring meaningful progress.
These rulings affirm that students with disabilities are entitled to educational opportunities that are tailored to their unique needs, reinforcing their right to a supportive and effective learning environment. Such cases underscore the commitment of IDEA to uphold and advance the educational rights of students with disabilities, ensuring their inclusion and equal opportunity within the public education system.
