Residential placements are often emotionally charged situations that frequently lead to disputes between districts and parents. Limit those disputes by making sound decisions regarding placement and funding.

Comprehensive analysis of IDEA mandates, key issues, landmark cases, and Education Department and OSEP guidance give you a clear understanding of when and why a child requires a residential placement and the district's responsibility to fund it.

Plus, you gain solid legal insights into:

• How to apply Endrew F.’s revised FAPE standard to residential placement decisions
• When behavior problems, truancy, and drug and alcohol abuse may or may not warrant residential placement
• District responsibility for reimbursing or paying for associated expenses such as travel
• When a less-restrictive “day placement” might be more appropriate
• And more!
