  • Board of Education of the Hendrick Hudson Central School District v. Rowley.

    This was the first case based on PL 94- 142 to reach the supreme court. The court ordered for each child with disabilities the right to personalized program of instruction and the appropriate supportive services. This act is helpful to students today because it gives all children the opportunity to learn no matter if they have a disability.
  • Honig v. Doe

    Honig v. Doe is a case in which the Supreme Court ruled that children with disabilities cannot be excluded from school due to misbehavior that is disability related. If a student has been diagnosed with a disability that affects his or her behavior could not be placed on suspension or any other behavior disciplinary act. This act is being implemented in schools today to help protect the actions of a student who has a disability who may not be able to control their behavioral actions.
