Date: 1995-2021
Purpose: This website has an overview of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 Law. 
5 Key Takeaways:
- In order to trigger the protections of IDEA, a child must have a disability that results in the need for special education and related services
- The evaluation must assess all areas related to the child's suspected disability or disabilities
- If a parent disagrees with the evaluation, they can request an independent educational evaluation (IEE).
- The IEP, or Individualized Education Program, is the guiding document for the special education and related services an eligible child will receive. 
- The IDEA requires that a child with a disability receive special education and related services in the least restrictive environment or LRE. ]]> 2021-10-03 21:04:34 UTC https://padlet.com/henschme/jkcr0s4sgcjj6n08/wish/1787952103 henschme https://padlet.com/henschme/jkcr0s4sgcjj6n08/wish/1787958724 This website has parent guides in different languages.
