IDEA/IDEIA - Precise Answer ✔✔This education law requires public
schools to meet the unique needs of eligible K-12 students with
disabilities. Schools do this by providing services.
IDEA addresses the rights and protections specifically guaranteed to
children with disabilities in the education system
IDEA is... A federal education law. Kids with disabilities who qualify
can get special education and related services from public schools.
IDEA covers... Kids from birth through high school (or age 21). But a
child must have a disability in one of 13 categories in the law and need
special education to make progress in school. Not all kids who struggle
in school will qualify.
, IDEA requires public schools to... Find and evaluate kids with
disabilities — at no cost to families. Kids have the right to a free
appropriate public education (FAPE) through an Individualized
Education Program (IEP). The IEP is tailored to a child's unique needs
and may include the following:
· Special education- instruction designed to meet the child's individual
differences and needs EX) Explicit reading instructions
· Related Services- services that help the child benefit from special
education EX) speech and occupational therapy
· Accommodations- changes in the classroom to how the child learns the
curriculum EX) extra time on tests, seating at the front of the class
· Assistive Technology- tools that help the child work around barriers to
learning EX) calculators, keyboards, graphic organizers
* Parents and guardians have the right to be part of the team that
develops the IEP. They have the right to disagree with the school and
ask for due process, a formal way to resolve disputes.
The first mandates for education for students with disabilities were first
outlined in Public Law 94-142, in the Education for all handicapped
Children Act of 1975. It was amended in 1990 and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act - Precise Answer ✔✔A civil rights
law prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities by
federally assisted programs or activities
describes how to create plans for students with disabilities not covered
by IDEA.
