Special Education Financing

Special Education Financing refers to the funding allocated to support students with disabilities in educational settings. This funding comes from federal, state, and local sources, ensuring that schools meet specific legal requirements and provide necessary resources, such as individualized teaching methods, specialized equipment, and related services. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates that eligible students receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE), which includes tailored services designed to accommodate their unique needs. Proper financing ensures that schools can effectively implement Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for these students, promoting their academic and social development.
