1990- Congress changed name to Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA).
  • IDEA promotes full inclusion into education and all other aspects of society, and protects from discrimination

Who Qualifies? (13 categories) 
  Deafness
  Emotional disturbance
  Hearing impairment
  Intellectual disability
  Multiple disabilities
  Orthopedic impairment
  Other health impairment
  Specific learning disability
  Speech or language impairment
  Traumatic brain injury
  Visual impairment

The Process is quite long, but let me try to sum it up!
1. School must conduct an IEP meeting by
  - contacting all participants, including parents
  - schedule meeting at a time and place
    agreeable by parents and school
  - parents may bring people ti the meeting who
   have special knowledge or expertise about
  the child
2. IEP team (which includes the parent and student) write the students initial IEP
3. Parents give consent to special services
4. Child begins to receive services asap

*If parents do not agree with the IEP and placement, they may discuss their concerns with other members of the IEP team and try to work out an agreement.
