Daniel RR was a six years old boy with down syndrome. He was enrolled in El Paso Independent School District. In the 1985 to 1986 school year, Daniel had attended a half-day early childhood program for special education students. Going into the next school year, Daniel’s parents asked if he could be placed into a general education pre-kindergarten classroom. Daniel was permitted to have half day in regular classroom and another half of the day in special education classroom. At the beginning, it seemed not to be the best situation for Daniel, teachers and classmates. His ability required him to get many accommodations and individual attention, and the teacher could not modify curriculum to meet Daniel’s needs without changing it completely. The school team decided to place him back to special education only classroom. But he could get lunch at school cafeteria with other students while his mother was there to supervise. He was also permitted to stay with students without disabilities at recess time. Daniel’s parents were unhappy about the school’s decision. They wanted him to spend more time with students in general education classroom. The school states that his attendance in general education

First, Rather than focusing on the child's learning deficiencies, emphasize and reward the child’s strengths and encourage them to find new interest and hobbies. Second it is important to meet with the child's teachers, tutors, and school support personnel to understand performance levels, and attitude toward school. After the student has been evaluated they are now eligible for special education services. Special education services are provided to student to work with a team of professionals, including your child's teacher, to develop an Individualized Education Program. The individualized education program is created to provide a summary of child’s current education and future goals within education. Children with learning disabilities need to know that they are loved and that they are not dumb. They need to know that they are intelligent normal people who just have trouble learning because their mind process words and information differently. Students with learning disabilities are just like every other student they just need more focus on certain learning

Until that time, many states had laws that excluded children with certain types of disabilities from attending public school. These included children who were blind, deaf and children labeled "emotionally disturbed" or "mentally retarded." Many of these children lived at state institutions where they received limited or no educational services. Having a disability does not automatically qualify a student for special education services under the IDEA. The disability must result in the student needing additional or different services to participate in school. For example, a child who is diagnosed autistic. Children with disabilities who qualify for special education are also automatically protected by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

When all the tiers of RTI have been utilized, the Students Support Team (SST) decides if the next appropriate step for the student is a referral to special education.

This situation could have been different in many ways. The petitioners should make the school district aware of their concerns than follow up on their concern as soon as possible. The petitioners should not waited until their student behavior cause them to be placed in DAEP to really become concerned. If the petitioner had been consisted with their child learning delays and behavior then they would have to try to take legal actions. The petitioners should have been educated on the school district policy. I think if the petitioner knew the steps to resolving an issue than they would have not taken them to court. If the petitioner disagree with the their child learning disability then could use a different

After a student is suspected of having a disability, a multi-disciplinary team typically meets to determine whether an evaluation is warranted. If the team members decide the student should be evaluated, the school must obtain informed consent from the student’s parents before any personalized testing occurs. However, if parents refuse consent for the initial evaluation or fail to respond to the request to provide consent, the district may file a formal complaint with the state education agency to resolve the issue and possibly to authorize an evaluation. Evaluations must be completed in a timely manner, usually within sixty days of receiving parental consent.

According to the children Act (1989) and the disability discrimination act (1995) the definition of special educational needs (SEN) is when a child is abnormal if he is visually impaired, dumb, deaf, injuries, or suffers from a mental disorder or any other type of illnesses. The definition of a child having disability according to the act is if he or she has been diagnosed with long term physical or mental impairment therefore struggling to do the day to day tasks. Both of the acts are provided for schools to meet the child’s responsibilities with SEN, and also help the teachers to meet the needs for disabled children.
