Learning Disabilities OnLine: LD In-Depth: Disciplining Special Ed Students that should be referred for special education services in situations involving disabledand nondisabled students law at the University of arkansas School of Law http://www.ldonline.org/ld_indepth/special_education/discipline_sped_students.ht
Extractions: School administrators continue to struggle with disciplining special education students under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA), but experts say educators shouldn't feel their hands are completely tied by the federal regulations. The keys to successfully disciplining special ed students are: thorough knowledge of the IDEA and its implementing regulations; using the IEP team to determine if the child's behavior was the result of his or her disability and involving parents in the decision-making. Patricia Jordan Rea, Ed.D., a former special education teacher and director who teaches at the College of William and Mary, advises school administrators to become especially familiar with the protections for students with disabilities under the "stay put" provisions of IDEA: suspensions over 10 days are not allowed; long-term suspension or expulsion for misconduct determined to be related to a student's disability is not allowed; educational services cannot cease if a student is removed from school for a long-term suspension or by expulsion; and disciplinary measures are to be made by the IEP team rather than unilaterally.
Extractions: Boarding school with supporive classroom structure and learning center. Both classroom and learning center teachers receive ongoing training in effective instructional methodologies.

Extractions: During the Juvenile Court process there should be inquiry into whether the youth who is the subject of the Court proceeding is eligible for or is receiving special education. This is not because the Court should make educational decisions, but because it is relevant to the disposition of most cases. The State, and its constituent parts, have a particular responsibility in this area. "Related Services" include transportation, and such developmental, corrective, and other supportive services including speech language pathology and audiology services, psychological services, physical and occupational therapy, recreation, including therapeutic recreation, social work services, counseling services, including rehabilitation counseling, orientation and mobility services, medical services for diagnostic and evaluation purposes as may be required to assist a child with a disability to benefit from special education.9 IDEA permits a child whose behavior is a manifestation of disability to be placed in an appropriate "interim alternative education setting" over parental objection for dangerous behavior under certain circumstances. School personnel cannot take this action on their own. Rather, they must request a due process hearing and seek an order from a Hearing Officer placing the child in the interim alternative educational setting.11
