Individuals with Disabilities Education (IDE)

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a U.S. law that guarantees students with disabilities receive free, appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. It ensures customized supports and services to meet each student's unique needs, including special accommodations, therapies, and modifications. IDEA also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between families, educators, and specialists to develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) tailored to the student's abilities and goals. Its purpose is to promote equality of opportunity and help students with disabilities succeed academically and functionally alongside their peers.
