  • Endrew F. v. Douglas

    Endrew F, a child with autism, whose parents rejected his public school IEP because it was basically the same as his previous years’, had noticed a plateau in his educational growth. They entered him into a private school that specializes in education for autistic students, yet couldn’t afford it because they didn’t receive tuition reimbursement.
    The court argued that at public school, they addressed his IEP and benefited him more than the minimal level.
    Ednrew and his parents won the ruling.
