The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law ensuring children with disabilities receive free, customized special education tailored to their individual needs. Public schools must evaluate children with suspected disabilities at no cost, and if they qualify, implement a legally binding Individualized Education Program (IEP).

Under the law, students must be educated alongside their non-disabled peers in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) to the greatest extent appropriate. IDEA also provides strong procedural safeguards that protect family rights, allowing parents to actively participate in all meetings, examine school records, and challenge school district placement decisions.

If a dispute arises with your school district, Kennedy Hunt, P.C. has the experience necessary to aggressively pursue due process litigation through the hearing procedures outlined by IDEA. Learn more at https://rpb.li/l50LO.

United States civil rights law provides the legal guarantees that ensure all people are treated equally and fairly, regardless of traits like ethnicity, gender, religion, age, or disability. Derived from the U.S. Constitution and federal statutes, these protections shield individuals from discrimination in everyday environments like the workplace, housing markets, public schools, and the voting booth.

Crucially, these laws also guard against overly intrusive conduct by the government, ensuring that state actors cannot make decisions arbitrarily or deprive citizens of their lives or property without affording them due process of law. Ultimately, while civil rights empower the law to prevent discrimination by others, they also serve as a vital shield against government overreach, ensuring both systemic equality and individual liberty for all members of society.

The Supreme Court will soon decide how intellectual disability is legally defined when the justices weigh in on the role of IQ tests in a federal ban on executing people who are intellectually disabled.

In 2002, the Supreme Court ruled that a federal ban on cruel and unusual punishment meant that people who are intellectually disabled are not allowed to face ex*****on by the death penalty. Now, the justices are reviewing a new death penalty case and are set to decide whether courts should look at a single, lowest-score IQ test in determining someone’s intellectual disability, or if they should instead take a more holistic approach.
