2026 SPED Legal Webinar 2: After the Manifestation Determination

After the Manifestation Determination:  Next Steps, Placement Decisions, and Documentation

What happens when behavior is a manifestation of a student’s disability? What are the next steps to meet the student’s needs when returning to the placement identified in the IEP? What steps should a district take when behaviors continue to occur?  What documentation is needed at that point in time?  Join Attorney Brandon K. Wright of Franczek P.C. to discuss this important and timely topic – using case law from around the country filtered through the lens of an experienced special education attorney to keep your next steps legal and effective!
