The A.J.T. Case: When a Disability Affects School Attendance


What happens when a student's disability makes a traditional school schedule impossible?

Karen and her guest discuss the story behind the A.J.T. case, involving a young girl with a rare form of epilepsy who experienced frequent morning seizures.

Her previous school arranged afternoon classes and additional homebound instruction to accommodate her medical needs.

But when her family moved to a new district, questions arose about access to instruction and appropriate accommodations.

A student's disability shouldn't mean their educational needs are overlooked. Individualized support matters!
