IDEA regulations

IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is a U.S. law ensuring students with disabilities receive free, appropriate public education that meets their unique needs. It mandates special supports, accommodations, and individualized education programs (IEPs) to help these students succeed alongside their peers. IDEA also emphasizes early intervention, family involvement, and safeguards to protect students’ rights. The goal is to provide an equitable learning environment, enabling students with disabilities to develop as fully as possible, both academically and socially.
