Manifestation Determination
IEP ProcessDefinition
A review that must occur within 10 school days when a student with a disability is facing a disciplinary removal of more than 10 days. The IEP team must determine whether the behavior was caused by or substantially related to the child's disability, or was a direct result of the school's failure to implement the IEP.
