Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Amendments enhance the educational rights of children with disabilities. These amendments ensure that all eligible children receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) tailored to their individual needs. They emphasize early intervention, special education services, and inclusive practices in schools. Additionally, they require schools to develop Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in collaboration with parents and educators, ensuring that students receive the support necessary to succeed academically. Overall, the amendments reinforce the commitment to provide equitable education opportunities for children with disabilities.
