IDEA Issues Getting Ear of High Court
Trotter, Andrew
Education Week, v26 n11 p1, 23 Nov 2006
In this article, the author states that by granting review of the third case in two years involving the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the U.S. Supreme Court has signaled a renewed interest in resolving legal conflicts arising under the federal law that governs services provided to nearly 6.7 million school children in special education. The justices have agreed to consider whether parents who are not lawyers have a right to represent themselves, or their child, in federal court in disputes with school districts over the child's educational placement. The high court's decision in the case may determine whether many low-income parents of children with disabilities have meaningful access to the federal courts, advocates for families state.
