Individuals with Disabilities Act

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) guarantees special education services for children with disabilities from birth through high school graduation. Since its inception in 1975 with the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, and through subsequent amendments, IDEA has aimed to ensure equity, accountability, and educational excellence. Key provisions include the Individual Education Plan (IEP), discipline guidelines, and parental participation. This guide outlines IDEA's history, goals, and related terms, emphasizing the commitment to providing Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE).
