This session will include a discussion and comparison of protections afforded to children with disabilities and their parents under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). We will also explore key differences in IDEA’s requirements for due process hearings when a State adopts the Part B due process procedures rather than the Part C due process procedures to resolve early intervention due process complaints. Challenges in meeting IDEA’s due process requirements and suggestions for addressing them will be highlighted.
