Removals, Manifestation, FBA, IAES —
and When to Avoid Them
Presented by Bobby Truhe, Esq.
Tuesday | December 9, 2025 • 2 - 3:30 p.m. ET
REGISTER NOWThere are two fundamental approaches to addressing misconduct of students with disabilities: educational (placement) and disciplinary (removal). Attorney Bobby Truhe will show you how to work from the start of repeated maladaptive behaviors and one-off misconduct by choosing the proper approach based on each student’s needs.
You’ll learn the legal authority for teams to consider LRE and placement, as well as the legal requirements for disciplinary removals, manifestation, FBAs, and IAES. And you’ll go beyond legal mandates to understand the benefits and downside of each approach and discover effective ways to address misconduct when it occurs.
You’ll leave this webinar equipped with knowledge and best practices to:
- Ensure better compliance by framing the discussion as a response to maladaptive behaviors, whether educational or disciplinary
- Bridge the knowledge gap between special education and general education staff related to addressing misconduct and maladaptive behaviors
- Comply with all legal and procedural requirements of disciplinary removals
- Identify situations where proactive due process or litigation is needed for really concerning behavior
- Document changes in placement in IEPs and PWNs to defend the work of the team
- And more
The webinar will end with Q&A time, so you can ask Mr. Truhe questions about your specific concerns.

Presented by Collins Saint, Esq.
Thursday | January 15, 2026 • 2 - 3:30 p.m. ET
REGISTER NOWDetermining whether a student is eligible for an IEP or a Section 504 plan is a key decision-making point that requires consistent criteria and processes. Attorney Collins Saint will provide your team with a roadmap for making that determination based on sound legal reasoning.
You’ll gain an understanding of the differences in students’ legal protections provided by the IDEA and Section 504, such as manifestation determination reviews, as well as where the two laws align. Plus, you’ll learn about 504 protections that apply to all students with disabilities regardless of whether they have an IEP or a 504 plan.
This webinar will also look at the importance of considering specially designed instruction in light of recent case law, and providing a prior written notice when a team refuses an IEP even if the student qualifies for a 504 plan.
You’ll leave with best practices to:
- Follow a compliant process to determine whether a student qualifies for a 504 plan or an IEP
- Utilize data to appropriately protect students with disabilities during decision-making
- Avoid legal risks when identifying students, including child find and predetermination
