FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL WITH DISABILITIES ACT
20 U.S.C. & 1400, et seq.
This federal law, modeled after the Massachusetts law Chapter 766, requires public schools to make to all eligible children with disabilities a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment appropriate to their individual needs. Any child who qualifies for special education services will receive them following an evaluation and the development of an Individualized Educational (IEP). A team of interested parties which can include such people as educators, parents, physicians and ADVOCATES, develops the plan.
