early in 1972 the two sides settled after the evidence that was provided had been evaluated. a consent decree was given by the u.s. district court judge masterson that ruled the existing law restricting kids ages six to twenty-one years of age was unconstitutional. it was also stated that pennsylvania was responsible for providing free public education to all children; that meant that no child, regardles of their disability, could be turned down by the commonwealth to the access of free public trainings and educational programs. the quality of the education and training given to the children with disabilities had to match that of the education and training given to general students.

changes within the act have affected the local and federal implementations of fape. fape is regarded as being met if the child is making educational progress. however, inconsistent supreme court rulings regarding fape have brought attention to the varying implementations of fape across the united states. in the first fape case to make it to the supreme court, "board of education of the hendrick hudson central school district v. rowley", 458 u. s. 176 (1982), the court ruled that a free appropriate public education should provide access to specialized instruction. the supreme court ruled, however, that the school was not obliged to provide an interpreter for a deaf student to receive a free appropriate public education. if the child is passing on to the next grade within an inclusion classroom, then fape is being met, and the state does not need to "maximize each child's potential." the case brought to the surface the question of how far do the parameters of fape extend.
