The passage of the 2004, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) ushered in a new era of special education reforms focused on results for students. Parents are provided with new options to participate in their children’s education and accountability systems under IDEA and those are aligned with options under No Child Left Behind.
It is more important than ever for parents to have a thorough understanding of the law and its implications in their children’s education.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law ensuring services to children with disabilities throughout the nation. IDEA governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education and related services to more than 6.5 million eligible infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities.
Infants and toddlers with disabilities (birth-2) and their families receive early intervention services under IDEA Part C. Children and youth (ages 3-21) receive special education and related services under IDEA Part B.
