A. Decision of Hearing Officer on the Provision of FAPE

1. Subject to Paragraph A.2 of this Section, a hearing officer's determination of whether the student received FAPE shall be based on substantive grounds.

2. In matters alleging a procedural violation, a hearing officer may find that a student did not receive FAPE only if the procedural inadequacies:
a. impeded the student's right to FAPE;

b. significantly impeded the parent's opportunity to participate in the decision-making process regarding the provision of FAPE to the parent's child; or

c. caused a deprivation of educational benefit.

3. Nothing in Subsection A of this Section shall be construed to preclude a hearing officer from ordering an LEA to comply with procedural requirements in these regulations.

B. Separate Request for a Due Process Hearing. Nothing in these regulations shall be construed to preclude a parent from filing a separate due process hearing request on an issue separate from a due process hearing request already filed.
