What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? new york

Here is the scenario –

My son Keith was diagnosed with schizo-affective disorder several years ago. While in college he had a non-violent outburst that scared a few people on campus. He basically had a nervous breakdown and a massive panic attack. He was suspended for 1 1/2 years.

He filed a civil complaint with the Department of Education to get back in classes before he was screwed financially and could not return after the 18 months. The school is claiming they had no idea he was disabled. Keith just got paperwork from his doctor showing how his disability diagnosis and history was faxed to the school 4 months previous in an effort to get special services with tutoring.

Does this prove the school knew, just because the tutoring department knew? How does this work, and what can he expect ? Should he file a civil claim?

Was there any follow-up to confirm that the school received the documention from Keith's doctor? Was the documentation sent to an individual or a department? Did the fax machine used by the doctor print out a sheet that confirmed that the fax had gone through? Did anyone inquire if Keith got "special services with tutoring" during those four months?

When exactly did Keith go to college?
