- Disciplining Students with Disabilities
- Like all students, those with disabilities can be suspended or expelled for violating the school’s code of conduct. However, IDEA provides some additional procedures that schools must follow when disciplining students with disabilities. These procedures were put into IDEA to prevent schools from suspending or expelling students without considering the effects of the child's disability.
