Not every IEP disagreement is a DISCRIMINATION complaint! ⚖️
Karen explains an important distinction between special education disputes and federal civil rights complaints.
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) investigates discrimination and retaliation under the laws it enforces, including Section 504.
But disagreeing with an evaluation or believing an IEP goal is inadequate doesn't automatically establish disability discrimination.
Parents, understanding the difference can help you choose the appropriate complaint process!
