This article demonstrates the role that courts have played in the development and implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. As a result of limited federal oversight and ambiguities in the law, courts have been influential players in the creation and re-creation of this law. The role of the courts can be seen in the interpretation of such concepts as a free, appropriate public education, medical services, and the least restrictive environment.
