Policy and Process

Special Education happens in the classroom. But the foundation for Special Education is in a set of federal and state laws. What are these laws? And how do they impact you and your students in the classroom? In this area of the site, you will learn about the laws that are the basis for Special Education, with particular emphasis on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). We have also gathered a wide range of federal and state resources here that will be useful for educators and families alike.
