Doe v. Koger
This case was monumental for children with disabilities because it has to be determined first if a child's behavior is caused by their disability before they can be expelled or a disciplinary action can be taken. If it has been decided that their behavior is due to their disability, it is up to the school to find a more restrictive environment for the child.
