Executive Summary of IDEA
On August 3, 2006, the US Department of Education announced the release of the final regulations governing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), as reauthorized in 2004. The regulations expand upon and clarify the language contained in the actual statute.
The US Department of Education offers an informative document titled “Questions and Answers on Serving Children With Disabilities Placed by Their Parents at Private Schools.” The document may be viewed/downloaded in either Microsoft Word or PDF format.
