Our Summary Of IDEA 2004
IDEA stands for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Basically, this law was implemented to ensure children with disabilities have access to the same free, quality public education that children without disabilities have the right to.
IDEA ensures that these children are being aided in their educational process by having an IEP or Individualized Education Plan. An IEP explains the special needs of the child, teaching methods, and a variety of other factors about that child's educational needs. IEP's are a way of keeping track of the student's progress and allowing teachers at all levels in the school to be able to better understand the child and their capabilities. IEP's are an essential part of IDEA.
Also as the school system is concerned the IDEA discusses at great length the type of funding the school will received for children with disabilities. The Act also discusses the Due process rights and discipline provisions.
All in all the premise behind IDEA is to spell out the rights of individuals with disabilities, the process by which the school and teachers will keep track of their progress, and how funds will be allocated.
