In the second segment of our series on discipline, Lisa and Miriam are joined by Christina Peer for a discussion about students with special education needs. When facing disciplinary consequences, children with disabilities are often entitled to additional legal protections, including manifestation determination reviews, functional behavior assessments, and behavior intervention plans. But it is not always clear when these legal protections come into play. Do these regulations apply to students who are in the process of being evaluated or only those already eligible? What triggers a school's obligation to conduct a manifestation determination review? What are some common mistakes schools make when disciplining children with disabilities?
Christina, Lisa, and Miriam practice education law at Walter Haverfield in Cleveland, Ohio.
