JUSTICE DEPARTMENT RESOLVES LITIGATION WITH NATIONAL CHILDCARE PROVIDER WITH AGREEMENT REQUIRING REASONABLE MODIFICATIONS OF TOILETING POLICY FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES
Friday, November 15, 2019
The United States has entered into an agreement with a national daycare provider to resolve an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) lawsuit. In the lawsuit, the United States alleged that Spring Education Inc. (SEI), formerly known as Nobel Learning Communities Inc., discriminated against a 3-year-old child and her parents in violation of the ADA by refusing to make reasonable modifications to its toileting policy and then expelling the child on the basis of her disability. The child had toileting delays resulting from her disability.
