  • Issac Lore et al. V. The board of Education of New York et al.

    The board of education vs Issac Lora, in this case the board of education opposed this ruling, the battle and the final ruling in 1975 ensured what the opponent wanted, Issac Lora. The practice discrimination eliminated when students with emotional problems take assessments. I believe that this supports the needs of students with emotional disabilities. Henley, M., Ramsey, R. S., & Algozzine, R. (2009)U.S. Department of Education. (2010, November 22). Celebrating 35 Years of IDEA
  • Frederich L. v.Thomas (philadelphia)

    Frederich L. v. Thomas (Philadelphia). In this case, two opposing parties, one fighting for the rights of those with disabilities to have access to educational programs. The other opposed it, the court ruled in favor of Frederich. I believe that this helps those with disabilities in that it gives them the same access to education programs that mainstream students have as well. Henley, M., Ramsey, R. S., & Algozzine, R. (2009)
  • Larry P. v. Riles (California)

(2009) This is important, it protects African American students who may have a mild learning disability and then throw them into a special education program based on the results of an intelligence test.
