Just because something is written in an IEP doesn't mean it is legal. In =
fact, often teachers of the emotionally distrubed want to prescribe reward =
movies for students with good behavior for a specified period. Unfortunatel=
y, fair use of video doesn't permit reward movies of ANY type, even if in =
an IEP. To draw the point to a ridiculous conclusion, you could put in the =
IEP that the student could shoot the principal if he behaved for the =
entire semester. That doesn't make it legal just because someone wrote it =
in the IEP.

I, too, would be interested in the answer. I had a special ed teacher =
copy
almost all the books-on-tape in the library. She kept the tapes in her
classroom. She insisted that it was legal because the student was =
required
to have books-on-tape per her modifications. I never felt that one could
overrule a law in that way.
