Read Stefan’s story and explore the links within the Anatomy of a Special Education Case website provided with this assignment. Write a scholarly paper describing Stefan’s situation, what the parents wanted, and how the situation ended. You will conclude with the reasons why a student needs to receive the correct services in SPED to become successful in life.
• Use current APA formatting standards, the summary of the case needs to be at least one-and-a-half pages, with citations from the case documents when paraphrasing or directly quoting. Be sure to consider why it is important to know the laws surrounding students with disabilities, determining where the school fell short in the case, and why it is important to correctly identify the needs of a student in special education.
• By using two other court cases (remember they are indicated with V. or VS. between the plaintiffs’ names; Brown VS. Board of Education), there will be one page of summary of the two court cases and how they could support Stefan’s needs. These cases should provide a rationale for your diagnostic impressions for Stefan. This section should be a minimum of one half page.
• The last page should be your conclusions on what needed to take place for Stefan to be successful. The entire paper, excluding the title and reference pages, should be a minimum of three pages.
• The format of the assignment is current APA formatting, adding a title page, citations when you paraphrase or direct quote from a source (with the page number in the citation when you directly quote from the source), and a reference page listing the sources used in the paper.
• Acceptable sources are scholarly articles published within the last five years.
