Larry P. v. Riles
The best known special education case was where I Q tests were used to place students in an EMR class. The defense presented the argument that the class had a racial divide but it was not due to the IQ test scores (Legal Issues in Testing, 1985).

Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garrett F.
A minor child with special needs and a disability needs a nurse at school, but the school district thought he should not have a nurse (Henley, Ramsey, & Algozzine, 2009). The ruling was for the minor child that the school district was liable for paying a nurse for the services the child needed under IDEA. The ruling will help in future to protect and give service special needs and children with disabilities whatever they need for free in order for them to succeed academically.
