ISBE due-process decision · FY 2014
Illinois due-process decision 2013-0447: parent prevailed
The parents claimed the IEP failed to address the student's basic math deficits and a laptop was not provided. The laptop issue was resolved by agreement; the hearing officer found the IEP denied FAPE in basic math and ordered a research-based multisensory math program.

ISBE removes the district's and student's names from every decision, so this case can't be linked to a specific district. The summary and outcome label were drafted with AI assistance from the decision's full text and checked against its order (how); the decision PDF is the authoritative record. This is not legal advice.
