The U.S Supreme Court ruled in Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District that an IEP is legal if it is reasonably calculated to enable a child to make progress appropriate in light of the child's circumstances. The Court rejected the "some benefit" standard previously used by many lower courts, stating that it did not meet the requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) for a "free appropriate public education" (FAPE) for students with disabilities. The Court also emphasized that the educational program must be individualized and tailored to the specific needs of the student to meet the IDEA requirements.
