Federal / State Laws

In November 2004, the United States Congress passed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004. This is often referred to as IDEA 2004 or IDEIA. This new version of the federal law governing special education became effective July 1, 2005. The U.S. Department of Education has developed a website Building the Legacy: IDEA 2004. This website was created to provide a "one-stop shop" for resources related to IDEA and its implementing regulations.

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 became a directive for education reform when it was signed into law by President George Bush on January 8, 2002. Intending to improve reading and math in schools across the United States, the law re-authorized a number of federal programs targeted at education reform.

Below are links to current laws/regulations and rules that pertain to the education of children with disabilities and those at risk.
