It is constructed only after careful consideration of the child’s present levels of achievement, disability, and potential for growth. - Chief Justice Roberts, Endrew F. v. Douglas County Schools, 2017.![image of mom and daughter completing homework](https://www.wrightslaw.com/images/bs/girl.mom.homewk.jpg)
