FAPE

FAPE, or Free Appropriate Public Education, is a legal requirement ensuring that students with disabilities receive an education tailored to their individual needs, at no cost to their families. This means schools must provide special services, accommodations, and supports necessary for these students to access learning, progress academically, and participate fully in school life. FAPE aims to guarantee equal educational opportunities, helping students with disabilities reach their full potential within the public school system.
