Honig v. Doe
This case sought to seek accommodations for students with disabilities who are suspended due to behaviors that result from their disability. The respondent sought to seek reparations for the fact that the state did not help provide additional services for these students. The judge sought to determine if complications would be made by excluding these students from their disruptive behavior in their place of placement (wrightslaw, 2011).
