Special Education 101 - What you need to know for your child's education

"Special Education and the Law: The Basics You Need to Know
Each child has a right to a free appropriate public education (FAPE). Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), federal and state law holds that children with disabilities and their families have specific educational rights and procedural protections, or special needs.
The law provides for specialized instruction in the least restrictive environment possible that meets these students’ challenges – whether physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, behavioral or emotional disabilities, or sensory impairment.
The law also gives parents a voice and the right to make decisions regarding their children’s education.
Since the IDEA was originally enacted in 1975, a significant number of children with disabilities have been recorded as enrolled in public schools. About 13 percent of students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade who are enrolled in public schools have a disability, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
