Your Child's Rights
This section of our e-Resource Center is designed to help you understand your child’s legal rights. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the federal law that governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education, and related services. We’ve included short, easy-to-understand videos and resources that highlight the most important of aspects of IDEA that you should be aware off.
We’ve also included links to other key disability legislation for those who would like to read up on these important laws in more details.
