Abstract School speech-language pathologists and districts frequently need guidance regarding how the legal provisions of special education affect the needs of children with dysphagia. This article reviews key principles of special education that guide eligibility determination and provision of services to all children. In the eligibility process, the school team would determine if the child's disability has an adverse effect on his/her education program and if the child needed special education (specially designed instruction) and related services. Dysphagia services would be considered a related service, a health service needed for the child to benefit from specially designed instruction. The article concludes with recommendations for practice that stem from a review of due process hearings and court cases for children with disabilities that include swallowing.

This report analyzes the 314 due process hearings held in Illinois during 1978, 1979, and the first three months of 1980, and the 95 state-level appeals from the hearing officer decisions within these 314 cases. Data were obtained from photocopies of the hearing officer's decisions and the Illinois State Board of Education's (ISBE) appeal rulings provided by the ISBE after all identifying information had been deleted. Data are analyzed and reported by handicapping condition and the issue involved in the hearings. Hearing officer decisions are reported in terms of which party to the hearing was upheld. The analysis of state-level reviews similarly examines the proportion of appeals that upheld the hearing officer's decision or made a different decision. The time involved between certain steps in the process and the cost of the local hearing are discussed, and suggestions for improving due process procedures are offered.

Before And After

This research examined the associations between Schaffer v. Weast (2005) and special education due process hearing decisions in California. Using a database we coded from the state’s due process hearings for cases which reached a decision (years 1995–2019), this study analyzed (1) how legal representation and the filing party affected the probability of the student fully or partially prevailing in these cases, and (2) how Schaffer affected student representation and the prevailing party before and after this ruling. The results indicate that while students were statistically as likely to be plaintiffs and/or represented by an attorney before and after the 2005 time break in the study, the decision raised the bar for students as the likelihood of favorable outcomes for students fell significantly in the wake of the ruling.
