Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

Formerly called P.L. 94-142 or the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975, this law required public schools to make available to all eligible children with disabilities a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment appropriate to their individual needs.  Learn what the law specifically states, what accommodations should be made in regarding different types of disabilities, how to develop appropriate Individualized Education Plans (IEP), how to modify lessons, where to locate resources for providing various types of accommodations, and how to motivate parents and students to become better advocates.  Participants of this workshop will become more knowledgeable of IDEA through the use of videos, instruction, handouts, and open discussion.
