Book excerpt: The current research surrounds the IDEA and its affect on the special education population emphasizes a fair and unilateral application of each school's code of conduct and disciplinary actions for almost all cases. Alabama has chosen a conservative interpretation in all areas of the IDEA amendments. Geneva County follows this interpretation. The purpose of this study are: 1) to investigate the level at which the disciplinary issues of students with specific learning disabilities, mental retardation, and emotional conflicts impact upon Slocomb Elementary School and 2) to offer recommendations for administrators and teachers to justly discipline the special needs population while maintaining a fair, safe, and productive learning environment.
