Everything about Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

United States law

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a piece of American federal legislation that requires that students with a disability be provided with a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) that is tailored to their individual needs. IDEA was known as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EHA) from 1975 to 1990. In 1990, the United States Congress reauthorized EHA and changed the title to IDEA. Overall, the goal of IDEA is to provide children with disabilities the same opportunity for education as those students who do not have a disability. Wikipedia →
