What is IDEA?

Oct 22 | What is IDEA?

IDEA is the Individual with Disabilities Act, which was originally enacted by Congress in 1975 to make sure children with disabilities had the opportunity to  receive a free appropriate public education. There were new regulations in Dec. 2004 and the final regulations were published in August of 2006. They can be found on the ED.gov website.
