The parent of a grade schooler noticed a drastic change in her daughter's personality. She stopped smiling, began touching herself inappropriately in public, was frequently anxious, and resisted going to school. The parent told a teacher and another staff member that "she saw a problem and needed help." The district received several mental health evaluations of the student. One evaluation, diagnosed the student with ADHD, ODD, depression, mood disorder, OCD, and noted her excessive anxiety and refusal to go to school. In addition, the student's teacher and another staff member knew the student was touching herself inappropriately in front of others at school. The district did not evaluate the student, it said, because she had excellent grades and it did not appear that she needed disability-related services at school. Moreover, the parent never requested an evaluation. The parent alleged a child find violation. Does grade schooler's conduct and private evaluations trigger child find duty? Multiple Choice A, B or C

CASE STUDY DOUBLE JEOPARDY
NO. The district's recommendation to place the student in its life-skills special education classroom satisfied the FAPE and LRE requirements of the IDEA, the 7th Circuit ruled. It noted the student's academic progress was "virtually nonexistent" and her developmental progress was "limited" in the regular education setting. She received very little benefit from her time there, despite being provided with aides, communication devices, computerized books and an individual curriculum. The court found the life-skills class an acceptable point along the IDEA's continuum of alternative placements, so long as it included reverse mainstream opportunities and allowed the student to interact with other children in nonacademic classes. The district showed "a concern both for her development and for keeping her mainstreamed, to an appropriate extent, with her nondisabled peers," the court added.
