Osborne, Allan G., Jr.
Litigation of handicapped students' and employees' rights continued at a significant level in 1990. Much of the litigation concerned the provision of an appropriate special education placement, due process rights, and recovery of attorney fees by prevailing parents under the Handicapped Children's Protection Act of 1986. Cases are summarized under the following topics: (1) entitlement to services; (2) procedural safeguards; (3) placement; (4) related services; (5) discipline; (6) remedies, including attorney fees; (7) state laws; and (8) discrimination under the Rehabilitation Act, Section 504.
