FAPE Exemption for Medical Devices

IDEA currently exempts medical devices for qualifying under FAPE. If the device requires medical expertise, is physically or surgically intrusive, can only be delivered in a hospital setting, is needed to sustain life, is a great liability to the institution if the device breaks down or the service provider is ill, or is a great time and cost burden — then the device is more likely to be considered for medical purposes rather than for educational purposes.
