1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[T]he school did not create an individualized educational program for Jason and did not meet Jason’s specialized needs. Had the school properly complied with the Act’s requirements ..., the Babbs and the school system could have worked together to design a proper plan to best meet Jason’s needs. The wisdom of hindsight in this instance, however, provides hollow comfort.”
