The Pending Post-Pandemic Issue of "Compensatory Services"
Zirkel, Perry A.
Communique, v50 n8 p8-10 Jun 2022
Since schools have generally resumed full in-person services, the legal issues for students with disabilities include not only the continuing line of cases challenging the level and efficacy of services during the pandemic but also the potential disputes about implementation or nonimplementation of "compensatory services" per federal and state education agency (SEA) guidance. These potential disputes may arise in (a) the adjudicative avenue under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504, which includes due process hearings, and in the investigative avenues of the state complaint process under the IDEA and (b) the corresponding complaint process of the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR; Zirkel & McGuire, 2010). Possessed with legal currency about this guidance, the related case law, and the relevant questions, school psychologists can facilitate careful institutional consideration of locally prudent and effective actions. This consideration needs to include the relationship, between the guidance's use of compensatory services (CS) and the remedy in the IDEA's adjudicative and investigative avenues of compensatory education or services (CE).
