Disability discrimination is when someone discriminates against an individual who has a disability by either refusing to provide them with reasonable accommodations for their disability or denying them access to programs and activities because of their disabilities. Many different types of disabilities can be discriminated against, including:

Physical disabilities
Learning disabilities
Mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety disorders
Substance abuse disorders such as alcoholism or drug addiction
Speech impediments such as stuttering or lisping
In some situations, you may be able to sue a school for disability discrimination. While the settlement amount will vary depending on the facts of the case, disability discrimination laws were designed to compensate victims of discrimination for the harm they suffered and force schools to make changes to avoid future discrimination.

How Do You Prove Disability Discrimination?
How you prove disability discrimination depends on the law you use to sue the school. The three laws that protect students with disabilities from discrimination are the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. These laws require schools to meet the child’s health-related needs and prohibit them from discriminatorily restricting the opportunities available to students with disabilities.

-- Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

-- Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act

-- Americans with Disabilities Act

When Should I Contact an Education Attorney?

Whether the school is refusing to provide necessary accommodations for your child’s disability-related needs or is prohibiting them from participating in certain activities because of their disability, an education attorney can help you fight for your child’s rights. A skilled lawyer can review your child’s situation and help advise on the best available course of action to protect your child against discrimination.
