Board of Education v. Rowley, 458 U.S. 176 (1982)

The courts would like to be clear and precise that IDEA does not guarantee any particular result and the provided educational services (Crane, 2014). The initiative of the rulings believes a school district did not apply sufficient education services for a child diagnosed on a handicapped spectrum. Presently, school provides Parental & Child Rights. -
