Description

FOR PUBLICATION Argued and Submitted January 17, 2002--Pasadena, California OPINION This case arises under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). 20 U.S.C. § 1400 et seq. It concerns a student, Amanda Ford, who is generally considered gifted, who scores very high on traditional, standardized IQ tests designed to measure intellectual ability, but who is doing very poorly in school. Amanda's parents brought this action challenging the District's assessment, required by 20 U.S.C. § 1414, and its conclusion that she is not disabled. The state's hearing officer upheld the assessment and the district court, in turn, upheld the hearing officer's decision.
