3. Policy and Legislation for Special Education
Policy and legislation for special education refer to the laws and guidelines that ensure students with disabilities receive appropriate educational support and services. These frameworks, such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in the U.S., require schools to provide tailored instruction and resources to help these students succeed. They promote inclusion, ensuring that children with varying abilities can participate in mainstream classrooms or receive specialized support as needed. Ultimately, these policies aim to safeguard the rights of students with disabilities, enabling equitable access to quality education and fostering their overall development.
