IDEA Part B

IDEA Part B refers to a section of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), a U.S. law that ensures students with disabilities receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). Under Part B, eligible children aged 3 to 21 are entitled to special education and related services tailored to their unique needs. Schools must develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each student, outlining specific goals and support. The aim is to promote academic achievement and prepare students for further education, employment, and independent living, ensuring they have equal access to educational opportunities.
