Supreme Court rules in favor of students with disabilities in education cases.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that a deaf student can sue his school for not providing him with a public education tailored to his needs. The decision could give parents more leverage in negotiating with public schools over assistance for children with disabilities. The student, Miguel Luna Perez, sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act for past damages, including loss of income and emotional distress, after his school failed to provide him with aides trained in sign language.
