Endrew F Supreme Court Case Toolkit

from INSOURCE:

As an organization, we have been hearing of conflicting understanding of the Endrew F. Supreme Court Case. In response to that and to also help parents better understand the implications of this Supreme Court decision, IN*SOURCE (the Indiana Resource Center for Families with Special Needs) is providing a  toolkit to help you better understand this landmark decision.

Below, please find the basic elements of this case.

• The IEP must be "reasonably calculated" to help your child make progress
• As a parent, you help decide whether the IEP has the input it needs to be appropriate for your child
• The IEP should be "appropriately ambitious" about your child's future and what can be accomplished, and
• Your child must have the chance to meet "challenging" objectives.

The Endrew F. toolkit (developed by understood.org) can be found on the IN*SOURCE website by clicking here.  Some of the resources provided in the toolkit include:

• Text of the Supreme Court's Endrew F. Decision (March 2017) (View / Download)
• U.S. Department of Education (ED) FAQs About Endrew F. (December 2017) (View / Download)
• Endrew F. Worksheet for Improving Your Child's IEP
• Endrew F. Talking Points to Advocate for Your Child

NCLD and understood.org developed the Endrew F. Advocacy Toolkit so parents can learn practical tips to develop an IEP that leads to success for students with learning and attention issues.
