The purpose of this act was to ensure that each child with a disability received an appropriate education that met their specific needs. Creating an appropriate education for all children with special needs created the need for an "Individualized Education Program" this tool clearly stated the child's needs and their developmental goals. The act also created more inclusive environments by requiring that children with disabilities be included in the "least restrictive environment." Children with disabilities and their guardians were protected by procedural safeguards that ensured they were receiving everything they needed and protecting their rights. This act relates back to Sady because this created an education system where she was able to get the individualized help she needed while still being integrated into the classroom with other peers who did not have disabilities.
