The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a crucial federal law that ensures children with disabilities receive Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). This means that eligible children must receive special education and related services that meet their individual needs at no cost to their families. IDEA also guarantees procedural safeguards for parents and children with disabilities, including the right to participate in meetings, access to educational records, and dispute resolution options. Moreover, the act provides guidelines for the development, review, and revision of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) to meet the unique needs of children with disabilities. |
