Handicapped.
Cambron-McCabe, Nelda H.
Litigation of handicapped students' and employees' rights continued at a significant level in 1988. Requests for attorneys' fees under the Handicapped Children's Protection Act was the focus of the greatest number of cases. As in 1987, two major issues were raised in these cases: the availability of fees for administrative hearings and the constitutionality of the retroactive application of the law. Cases are summarized under the following topics: (1) entitlement to services; (2) procedural safeguards; (3) placement; (4) related services; (5) discipline; (6) remedies; (7) federal funding; (8) state law; and (9) discrimination under the Rehabilitation Act, Section 504.
