Speaker Notes:

Section 615

Section 615 provides procedural safeguards for students with disabilities and their parents.

This slide provides an overview of the procedural safeguards that have been amended in IDEA 2004.

The purpose of most of these changes is to provide schools and parents with opportunities to resolve disputes in positive and constructive ways.
