federal grants for special education

Federal grants for special education are funds provided by the U.S. government to support the education of students with disabilities. These grants help schools develop tailored programs, purchase specialized equipment, train staff, and improve services to ensure students receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) as mandated by law. The main source is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which allocates funds based on student needs and ensures equitable access to quality education for all learners with disabilities.
