Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

“For the past 30 years, children with disabilities, their families and the professionals who work on their behalf have revolutionized the educational and workplace opportunities available to America’s 6.9 million children with disabilities.  Led by landmark legislation, now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), children with disabilities have had access to an educational system that builds upon their strengths and addresses their individual needs.  

On December 3, 2004, President Bush signed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act into law.  Since then, the U.S. Department of Education has released final regulations for the implementation of IDEA Part B (grants to states for individuals aged 3-21) and proposed regulations for IDEA Part C (Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities program).
