The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a United States federal law that governs how which states and public agencies for early intervention, special education and related services to disabled children. It addresses the educational needs disabled children aged from birth to 26 [1] in cases involving 13 categories of persons with disabilities.

The idea and its predecessor statute, the Education for All handicapped Children Act, arose from the Federal Court Act now deprived of free public education for children with disabilities is a deprivation of a process. It has grown and been shaped over the years. IDEA has been renewed and amended a number of times, most recently in December 2004, which contained several important changes. Its terms are defined by regulations of the Ministry of Education of the United States, which found in parts 300 and 301 of Title 34 Code of Federal Regulations.
In defining the purpose of special education, IDEA 2004 clarifies Congress expected results for every child with a disability: students must be provided with a free appropriate public education (FAPE) that prepares them for further training, employment and independent living [2].
Under IDEA 2004:
Special education and related services must be designed to meet the unique learning needs of eligible children with disabilities, preschool until the age of 21.

[Edit] Background
Before the EHA statute was enacted in 1975, the U.S. public schools educated only 1 in 5 children with disabilities [3]. Until that date, many states have laws that explicitly excluded children with certain disabilities to attend public school, including blind children, deaf, and children labeled "temperamental" or "mentally retarded". [4] At the time the EHA was enacted, more than 1 million children United States had no access to public school system. [5] Many of these children lived in public institutions where they received little or no service education or rehabilitation. [6] Another 3.5 million children in school, but were "warehoused different institutions and have received little or no effective investigation [7].
In 2006, more than 6 million children in the United States receive special education services through IDEA [8].
[Edit] The provisions of the IDEA
[Edit] Service Eligibility
Having a disability does not automatically qualify a student for special education services under IDEA. IDEA defines "child with a disability "as a child… with mental retardation, hearing impairments (including deafness), speech or language impairments, visual impairments (including blindness), serious emotional disturbance. . ., Orthopedic disorders, autism, brain injuries, health disorders, or disorders specific learning and the WHO. . . [Due to the needs] provided special education and related services. [9] Children disabilities who are eligible for special education are automatically protected by Article 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). However, any changes that may be provided for in Article 504 or the ADA may be provided under IDEA if included in the student's IEP.
Students with disabilities who are not eligible for education services Special under IDEA may qualify for accommodations or modifications under section 504 and the ADA. Their rights are protected by the requirements of procedural due process. [Citation needed]
[Edit] Individualized Education Program
For more details on this topic, see Individualized Education Program.
The law requires public schools to create an Education Program (IEP) for each student who is deemed eligible under the eligibility standards both state and federal disability /. The IEP is the cornerstone of the educational program of the student. It specifies the services to be provided and how often, describes the current level of student performance and how the student's disabilities affect academic performance, and specifies accommodations and modifications to provide for the student [10].
An IEP must be designed to meet the special educational needs of such a child the least restrictive environment appropriate to the needs of that child. In other words, the least restrictive environment in which the child learns. When a child is eligible for services, an IEP team is convened to develop an education plan. In addition to the child's parents, the IEP team must include at least one teacher of the child in mainstream education, a special education teacher, someone who can interpret the implications educational evaluation of the child as a school psychologist and an administrator who has knowledge of the availability of services in the district and authorization to hire these services on behalf of the child. Parents are considered equal members of the IEP team with staff school. And of course, parents have fundamental rights as parents. Based on the comprehensive evaluation results of education, this team collaborates to write an IEP for the individual child, which will provide free education, proper public. The required content of an IEP is set in Individualized Education Program. In addition, parents can develop an IEP if the IEP school is not just for the child.
[Edit] Related services
The definition of services related to the IDEA includes, but is not limited to: speech of Transportation and Development such corrective and other support services that are needed to help a child with a disability to benefit from special education, and includes language pathology and audiology services, psychological services, physical and occupational therapy, recreation, including therapeutic recreation, early identification and assessment of disabilities in children, counseling services, including rehabilitation counseling, guidance and mobility services *, and medical services for diagnostic or evaluation. The term also includes school health services, social services in schools and advice for parents and training [11].
[Edit] free appropriate public education
For more details on this topic, see Free, appropriate public education (FAPE).
Guaranteed by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), FAPE is defined as an educational program that is individualized for a particular child, designed to meet the unique needs of this child, and from which the child receives educational benefit. To provide FAPE, schools must provide students with a "… Education that emphasizes special education and related services to meet their unique needs and prepare them for training, employment and independent living. "[12]
Some of the criteria specified in the various sections of the IDEA statute includes requirements that schools provide each disabled student an education that:
Is designed to meet the specific needs of this student needs a
Provides "… access to the general program to meet the expectations set challenge for all children "(that is, it meets the quality standards approximate at the National Agency for Education)
Are provided under the Individual Education Plan (IEP) as defined in 1414 (D) (3) [13].
Results in an educational benefit of children [13].
[Edit] least restrictive environment
For more details on this topic, see the least restrictive environment.
The U.S. Department of Education, 2005a regulations States idea: "… to the extent appropriate, handicapped children, including children in public or private institutions or institutions care, are educated with children who are not disabled, and special classes, separate schools or other removal of children with disabilities regular educational environment occurs only if the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use Additional assistance and services can not be achieved satisfactorily. "
Simply selling the LRE is the environment most, like that of typical children where the child with a disability can succeed in school (as measured by the specific objectives in the IEP the student). These two questions decided Daniel RR v. State Board of Education, 874 F.2d 1036 (5th Cir. 1989).
This court Based on Ronck, has also developed a two-part test for determining whether the LRE requirement is met. The test asks two questions:
Then an appropriate education in the general education classroom with the use of supplementary aids and services will be achieved satisfactory?
If a student is placed in a more restrictive, the student is "integrated" to "As much as possible? (Standard AL, DE, GA, FL, LA, MS, NJ, PA, TX) [14].
[Edit] Discipline of a child with a disability
This section does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations from reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (Jul. 2007)
According to IDEA, discipline of a child with a disability must take into account the disability. For example, if a child Asperger syndrome is sensitive to loud noises, and if the child runs out of a room full of loud noises, all disciplines of that child for running out of the room should reflect the sensitivity and whether appropriate accommodations were in place. According to the Ministry of Education United States, for children with disabilities who have been suspended for 10 days in total for each academic year, including partial days, the educational agency Local (LEA) must hold a manifestation determination hearing within 10 school days of any decision to modify the placement of a child with a disability because breach of a code of conduct of the student, or the law Put residence which states that children should not be moved its current location or intermediary services in another course if the offense is deemed to cause danger to other students. The LEA, the parent, and relevant members of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) team (as determined by the parent and LEA) must review all information relevant in the school record, including the child's IEP, any teacher observations, and any relevant information provided by the parents to determine whether the conduct in question was the following:
Caused by or had a substantial and direct connection to the child disability or
The direct consequence of the failure of the LEA to implement the IAP.
If the LEA, parents and relevant members of the team IEP to determine that the conduct was a manifestation of the child's disability, the IEP team must:
Assess functional behavior and implement a behavior intervention plan for the child, provided that the LEA had not made such evaluation by this decision before the behavior that resulted in a change in placement described in section 615 (k) (1) (C) or (G);
In where a behavioral intervention plan has been developed, review the behavioral intervention plan if the child has already such a behavioral intervention plan, and modify, if necessary, to examine the behavior and
Subject to the provisions of Section 615 (k) (1) (G), return the child to the location from which the child was removed, unless the parent and the LEA agree to a change of placement as part of changing the behavioral intervention plan.

[Edit] Child Find
public school districts are responsible for identifying all students with disabilities within their districts, regardless of whether they are enrolled in public schools because private schools can not be funded for adaptation measures under the IDEA.
[Edit] The procedural safeguards
This section requires expansion.
IDEA includes a set of procedural safeguards to protect the rights of disabled children and their families, and ensure that disabled children receive FAPE. The procedural safeguards include the opportunity for parents to review their child's complete school records, full participation of parents in the identification and IEP team meetings, parent participation in placement decisions; written notice, the right of parents to request assessments independent education at public expense;: Notice of procedural safeguards of mediation, resolution process, and funded by the target organism public education and impartial hearings of the defense. [15] IDEA guarantees parents the following rights:
Right to be informed in writing procedural safeguards (A brochure)
Right to examine all school records
To be equal partners in the team IEP and the school staff
To participate in all aspects of planning the education of their child
To file a complaint with the state education agency
hearing to mediation or due process
At that time, parents can provide an alternative FPI and their witnesses (experts and others) to support their cause.
These hearings are Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) of hearings and may be appealed. This is not a trial.
[Edit] Early intervention
This section requires expansion.
Part C of IDEA requires that infants and young children with disabilities receive early intervention services from birth to 3 years. These services are provided under an individualized plan of services (IFSP. In contrast, Part B of IDEA requires that disabled children, age of 3-21, are provided a free appropriate public education.
[Edit] Department of Education regulations
This section requires expansion.
In addition to federal law, the U.S. Department of Education issues regulations clarifying what designated by law. States may add other provisions to further regulate the way schools provide services, but they can not cancel any provision specifically provided in federal law.
[Edit] Alignment childless Left Behind
This section requires expansion.
The renewal of the IDEA in 2004 revised the statute to match the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). NCLB provides incentives Financial states that improve their special education services and services for all students. States that improve not, it will repay the federal government incentives, to allow parental choice of schools for their children, and respect other provisions. Some states are still reluctant to educate pupils and to seek remedies in court. However, the IDEA and NCLB are yet the laws of the country to date.

unfunded mandate. Then of its past in 1975, Congress established a maximum level of funding for the program by 40 per cent of the average per pupil expenditure of U.S. students. This is an approximation of the estimated additional cost of training a student with a disability. Some have interpreted this as a promise that the federal government will fund the expenditure amount. To date, despite massive increases in Part B funding, Congress has not provide more than 30 percent.
[Edit reviews] students and parents
Parents criticize schools for not following the laws in the design and implementation of education plans. Enforcement is rare and inefficient.
Impartial due process hearing officers are not impartial
Districts spend thousands of dollars fighting against parents who want services for their children rather than providing services, which often costs much cheaper than the Attorney
Schools and districts may retaliate against the families who are struggling for their children, sometimes retaliate against children themselves. (Information | date = February 2008)) Reprisal may include reports of children with special needs and the child, the state Local Protective Services, sometimes in an attempt to blame the family environment "as abuse or neglect, so as to move blame away from school for the failure of the child's progress or regression in school. The school can claim that there was "evidence" of abuse and neglect, including dirty clothes, holes in clothes, nutritious meals given to evil the child by parents, nosebleeds child or self-injurious behavior of a child seen at the school. Sometimes, schools will report on a special needs child, but not his brother without disabilities. These actions often seem to be retaliation and harassment purposes rather as founded in fact ..
schoolchildren label "learning disabilities" and placed in special education, even if the child does not have a learning disability, because the schools failed to teach children the basic skills. [17]
Minorities are overidentified as having learning disabilities, disturbaces emotional, and mental retardation.
Parents do not how to prepare an IEP for the fight against failure IEP prepared by the schools.
Some students do not have the skills successful transition and the information necessary for the exit when special education, and in the real world. They are essentially dumped without necessarily any idea of community resources, infrastructure, and / or policies.
[Edit reviews] Taxpayers
It IDEA is no exception: no child is so severely disabled do not receive educational services under the IDEA. [18] Even children who are in a permanent vegetative state or even suffering from severe brain damage [19] still qualify for public education free appropriate. This means that schools may be required to provide "educational" services to children who have no ability to move voluntary, no ability to communicate, and nothing indicates that they recognize their own names or the faces of their parents [20].
According services "linked" clause, the schools are specifically required to pay for many types of medical treatment, including speech therapy, audiology, physiotherapy and nursing care, if medical treatment should contribute to the education of the student. [21] It is not necessary that the insurance PHI may be used when available. (A subsequent statutory exception relieving schools of the obligation to pay for certain types of surgery such as cochlear implants.)
