The text discusses the case of D.R. v. Redondo Beach Unified School District, in which a student with a disability known as D.R. was denied an inclusive placement in general education due to lack of evidence of progress. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently confirmed that when determining placement for a student with a disability, the school district must consider all four factors, including academic benefit and least restrictive environment. The student claimed that the school denied him a fair and appropriate education by not providing him with an iPad as an alternative communication device. The court emphasized the importance of school districts utilizing resources in general education before turning to special education for students.
