    This is a benefit to special education because it can now be assumed that the IEP decisions are correct and in the best interest of the child (student). Any none agreeable changes needs to be set forth by the parent or guardian that is opposed to it within the due process hearing, where they are responsible for proving that the schools IEP team does not have the best interest of the student in mind. This is often easily stated by the opposing party but not easily proven, but through this ruling that opposed party now has to ensure that they thoroughly follow through with collection of information disagreeing. This means that they will not only have to learn more about the things the school system is doing to assist the child (student) but also learn and discover better methods to assist the child (student) with their education process. I think this is great based on the fact that parental involvement is necessary and this places parents or guardians in a position where they must know what their real argument is opposed to what the school system is doing for their…

    The road to learning for American children (K-12) is currently filled with potholes and obstacles which prevent students from learning to their full potential and from progressing from one grade level to the next based on knowledge acquired.

    Education is important and extremely valued within American society, although students with disabilities have struggled with getting the opportunity to have the same fair, appropriate education as their nondisabled peers.

Disabled students have benefitted greatly from IDEA since it was enacted 26 years ago. IDEA has immensely changed the way students with disabilities receive an education.…
