Can parents file a disability discrimination claim WITHOUT going through IDEA due process? ⚖️
In certain circumstances, YES!
Karen and her guest discuss how Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title II of the ADA provide protections against disability discrimination in schools.
Depending on the claim and remedy sought, families may pursue a federal court case without first exhausting IDEA procedures.
Parents can also file qualifying discrimination complaints with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
Knowing which legal avenue addresses your concern is an important first step!
