The Process of Disciplining the Disabled Student

 

The importance and value of proper order and discipline in a school cannot be overstated.

It is imperative that schools maintain and enforce effective, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory
student discipline policies and codes of conduct. However, this concern must be
counterbalanced by the special consideration warranted for students with disabilities when their
violation of disciplinary policies is substantially related to their disabilities. In such cases,
relying on student discipline, by itself, is unlikely to reduce the likelihood such undesirable
behavior will recur. When putative misconduct is substantially related to a student’s disability,
we can only reduce the likelihood that such misconduct will happen again by identifying its root
causes and implementing strategies to address them. This white paper reviews the manifestation review and the due process provisions of IDEA specific to disciplinary changes in placement.
