Module 19 discusses IDEA's very specific procedures for disciplining students with disabilities who violate a code of student conduct. These have changed significantly from prior law, where they were first introduced. Can a school suspend or expel a student with a disability for violating a code of student conduct? Change his or her placement? Is a manifestation determination necessary? What rules apply? This module will tell you. It concludes with case study examples.
Module 19 is available in English only (except for the handouts for participants, which are also available in Spanish). The module includes:
- a slideshow presentation;
- a Trainer's Guide; and
- handouts for participants.
Please help yourself below, and download the components you need to learn on your own and/or to train others regarding IDEA's disciplinary procedures.

Note about the Spanish Translations:
In preparing the handouts in Spanish, NICHCY has chosen to use a certain vocabulary set for the terminology most frequently used in IDEA. IDEA itself is extremely and purposefully consistent about its terminology, and we felt it critical to do the same in Spanish. However, we fully recognize that there are many ways to say the same thing, and Spanish is rich with alternatives from country to country, region to region. So we've also prepared a glossary of the terminology used in IDEA, how we've rendered that terminology in Spanish, and other ways of rendering it that families may also hear. Share this with participants as you see fit or use it to guide your own translations. The glossary of terminology is available in two formats, PDF and Word:
