The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of an autistic child who is attending private school because his parents were dissatisfied with the educational help provided by his public school in Colorado.
The parents of Endrew F. are seeking reimbursement of the private-school tuition on the ground that the public school failed to provide an appropriate education as required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The school failed to deal with Endrew’s behavior issues that included head banging, falling to the floor and taking off his clothes, the parents contended.
At issue in Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District is the standard that schools must meet in complying with the law.
