Special education is an area of public education which can often lead to legal entanglements. Federal and state court decisions – reaching as far as the U.S. Supreme Court — can affect what happens in the classroom. The acronyms and jargon are extensive: one of the cornerstones in special education placements and decisions, for example, is FAPE (free and appropriate public education).
