Specific requirements have been added to the new IDEA regarding the discipline of children with disabilities. These requirements are complex and lengthy and are based upon standards that have emerged over the years as a result of court cases, OSEP memoranda, and findings of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), which enforces compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, under which many children with disabilities receive educational services.
These standards are best described in the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) Approved Training Module on Mediation Under the 1997 IDEA from NICHCY, the National Information Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities. This training module includes discussion of the law's new requirements with respect to discipline, some court findings and an OSEP memorandum.
