Did "Endrew F." Change the "A" in FAPE? Questions and Implications for School Psychologists
O'Brien, Shawn K.
Communique, v46 n5 p1, 31-33 Jan-Feb 2018
This past March, the Supreme Court issued a decision, "Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District RE-1," that has the potential to change the definition of "appropriate" in what constitutes a free and appropriate education (FAPE), at least within some U.S. jurisdictions. This article briefly summarizes the ruling, with a focus on specific issues and questions that are relevant to the practice of school psychology.
