Abstract

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act grants dissatisfied parents of students with disabilities the right to pursue legal remedies. In 2007, Rose and Zirkel found that parents of students with reading disabilities seeking Orton-Gillingham (OG) instruction under the IDEA’s central obligation for a free appropriate public education (FAPE) were largely unsuccessful in their complaints. Since that review, various factors had the potential to influence the frequency and outcomes of OG-related case law—namely, the peer-reviewed research requirement of the IDEA and growing awareness of the need for specialized reading instruction. Our updated analysis of OG-related case law revealed an increase in the number of cases but similar district-favored outcomes identified by Rose and Zirkel. In particular, the relaxed substantive FAPE standard and deference to local and state authorities diminished the likelihood of parents prevailing in their requests. Implications for parents, school district personnel, special education professionals, and education researchers are presented.

Orton Gillingham和IDEA：判例法的频率和结果分析

《残疾人教育法》赋予不满的残疾学生家长寻求法律补救的权利。2007年，Rose和Zirkel发现，根据IDEA关于免费适当公共教育（FAPE）的核心义务，有阅读障碍的学生的家长寻求Orton Gillingham（OG）的指导，但他们的投诉基本上没有成功。自那次审查以来，各种因素有可能影响OG相关判例法的频率和结果，即IDEA的同行评审研究要求和对专业阅读教学需求的日益认识。我们对OG相关判例法的最新分析显示，病例数量有所增加，但Rose和Zirkel发现了类似的地区有利结果。特别是，放宽的实质性FAPE标准以及对地方和州当局的尊重降低了父母在请求中占主导地位的可能性。介绍了对家长、学区工作人员、特殊教育专业人员和教育研究人员的启示。
