Students with Acquired Brain Injury: A Legal Update
Zirkel, Perry
Physical Disabilities: Education and Related Services, v38 n1 p26-44 2019
Representing a sequel to a similar case law snapshot in mid-2010, this article provides an updated overview of the judicial and administrative case law concerning students with traumatic and nontraumatic brain injury in the P-12 school context. The scope is limited to cases under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the pair of disability-based civil rights statutes, Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The cases include not only hearing/review officer and court decisions but also state education agency and Office for Civil Rights complaint investigation reports available in the national legal database, LRP's SpecialEdConnection®. The analysis focuses on the frequency and outcomes of these published rulings, with the discussion extending to the empirical limitations and professional implications of the findings.
