Is Your Child's School Following the IDEA Act?

Is your child getting the educational support they deserve? For some, that means support under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Also known as IDEA, the law ensures that children with disabilities have the right to a free, appropriate public education tailored to their individual needs. IDEA covers everything from assessments and educational plans to the physical accommodations that make learning accessible. But what if you feel your child’s needs aren’t being met? First, request a meeting with your child’s education team to review their Individualized Education Program, or IEP. If issues persist, you might consider mediation, or even filing a complaint with your state’s education department. Visit LawInfo.com today to learn more about your child’s rights and look for an education lawyer who can assist you.
