The law requires school districts provide the needed services to ensure children get the education they deserve.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act, IDEA, is a law written to protect learning disables children. There are some districts that are not eager to provide the resources they are required to provide. This is why it is important for parent to understand how they need to advocate for their students educational rights.
