  • Slide: 1
  • What is IDEA?
  • Slide: 2
  • Hello! We are here today so I can teach you a bit about the Individuals with Disabilities Act or IDEA for short. I will be walking you through a few very important items. Ready to get started?
  • You Bet!
  • Slide: 3
  • Just as a overview, IDEA is a law that provides students with disabilities a free appropriate public education. It ensures that all students and the parents of those students are protected in the school system.
  • Wow, that sounds helpful. What classroom are the students with disabilities in?
  • Good questions. The IDEA law states that students with disabilities remain in the Least Restrictive Environment. This could be the general education classroom or our special education classrooms based on student needs (Department of Education, 2017)
  • Slide: 4
  • IDEA protects students, parents and educational organizations. It protects students by meeting their needs directly and setting them up for success in the future. Parents also benefit from this act because they have the right to be hands on with the decisions made for their child's education. They get to be apart of the team on every step moving forward.
  • What about the schools? How do they benefit?
  • Oh, yes! The schools benefit from the law because they receive the tools for effective education for students with disabilities.
  • Slide: 5
  • Would you be able to explain some of the benefits and limitations to the IDEA law?
  • Absolutely, I am glad you asked. One benefit includes the student having and IEP team. This team is made up of the students parents or guardian, teachers, administration, paraprofessionals and sometimes more. This team really does make the student feel so supported. Student success is at the root of our laws and this is no exception. Now, limitations. Since this law protects free education, students do not always receive the best quality testing because schools cannot always provide qualified individuals for the testing or giving the results.
  • Slide: 6
  • Now that we understand what the act is, can you explain some of the ways you will help your staff adhere to the law?
  • Yes. I have three recommendations for my staff moving forward. The first is to educate them on the difference between a 503 and an IEP. These two are easily mixed up and I want us to be the best prepared before we head into any meetings with families or the team. (Rawe, 2024)Plan two is not only have parents but teachers and staff read the procedural safeguards. I say this because these are a great way for our school to resolve conflict that may arise in the future with parents (Rebhorn, 2007)Finally plan three is to offer trainings to all staff on the ins and outs of the IDEA act. I cannot expect them to know all the aspects of this law, so I must provide the resources to help them better understand.
  • Slide: 7
  • I also have a few recommendations for advocating for parents and students:1. Stay up to date on the ever changing laws and cases so that we are never in the dark. 2. Always remain professional and back up your words with sources and research. 3. Keep in mind deadlines for important dates regarding assessments. We can get into trouble if we are not on top of important details such as deadlines.
  • Those are great recommendations, I will be sure to keep that in mind for the future!
  • Slide: 8
  • Ultimately, we want to see our students flourish. All of our students. We need to provide them with the resources and support to encourage them to be better human beings. Helping students become successful in the future outside of school has always been a mission of ours. We can keep that at the forefront if we are in the know of all the different laws surrounding education and equality for all students. Thank you for coming in and collaborating with me on this subject.
  • You said it! Everyone of our stakeholders wants the students to succeed. We will get them there by working together. Thank you for having me, I have learned so much today!
