Learn how the Manifestation Determination Review (MDR) process is used when a student with a disability faces possible disciplinary removal from school. This video explains the role of the admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee in reviewing the student’s individualized education program (IEP), teacher input, and other relevant data to determine whether the behavior was caused by the student’s disability or by a failure to implement the IEP. It also highlights the legal protections in place for students with disabilities and outlines possible outcomes, including continued access to educational services if a change in placement occurs.
