Scenarios about 'IDEA'
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a landmark U.S. federal law that ensures students with disabilities receive appropriate educational services. First enacted in 1975 as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act and renamed in 1990, IDEA established the framework for special education services, individualized education programs, and the right to education in the least restrictive environment.
