Overview
- The Juzgado de Garantías del Joven Nº 3 de La Plata granted an amparo and ordered the school to guarantee enrollment and continuity for Renata and Benicio until each completes their educational cycle.
- Judges concluded the exclusion constituted indirect discrimination related to disability and found the institution failed to justify its decision with a legitimate purpose.
- The judgment requires reasonable adjustments for Benicio, who has autism, and compulsory training for all staff in disability and human rights as a guarantee of non-repetition.
- The decision restricts use of the school’s “derecho de admisión,” barring rejections or non-renewals based on autism or because families request reasonable adaptations.
- The family, represented by lawyer Carla Junqueira and supported by NGO TEActiva, celebrated a decision widely described as a persuasive precedent for future inclusion disputes across Argentina.
