Not only does IDEA address educational learning disabilities but includes students with mental health disabilities.  Providing mental health services for identified students falls under the Free Appropriate Public Education, FAPE, portion of IDEA (Yell, Smith, Katsiyannis, & Losinski, 2018).  As an administrator, there are legal and ethical issues that must be adherred to in providing educational services to all students.  The identification and evaluation of students with disabilities is required by law and must be carried out by the school district.  Parents of special education students have a legal right to be a major player and in agreement with all decisions regarding their child’s education (An overview, 2018).  Educators must be up-to-date in special education legal mandates in order to establish educational practices that are legal and ethical in adressing student needs.
