Special Education Law and Regulation

Special Education Law and Regulation refers to a set of federal and state laws that ensure students with disabilities receive appropriate education tailored to their needs. In the U.S., the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates that schools create Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for eligible students, detailing specific services and supports. School governance involves overseeing how these regulations are implemented, ensuring that schools comply with legal standards while providing equal opportunities for all students. This framework helps protect the rights of students with disabilities, promoting their access to quality education and inclusion in general education settings.
