To complete this tab, do the following:
Select the Actual Conference during which the Student Team considered the Manifestation Determination. After selecting a conference, the information is displayed in the Manifestation Determination Conferences box below.
Answer the questions in the Manifestation Determination box:
The conduct in question was caused by, or had a direct and substantial relationship to the student's disability.
The conduct in question was the direct result of the department's failure to implement the IEP/504 Plan.
