Most parents sense something is wrong long before they can say exactly what. This guide closes that gap: twenty of the most common IDEA and ADA violations, each with the specific federal regulation behind it and a real-world example — so you can name the problem precisely instead of just knowing something feels off.
"This feels unfair" gets a vague answer from a school. "This is a 34 C.F.R. § 300.503 problem" gets a different one.
Covers denial of FAPE, missed related services, improper discipline, LRE violations, retaliation, records access, and more — plus a short guide to what to actually do next if you find a match.
I am not an attorney, and this guide does not provide legal advice. Regulatory citations reflect a good-faith mapping to federal law as of publication and are not a substitute for independent legal review.
