IDEA: Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Age range | Birth through 21 |
| Part B | Ages 3 to 21: Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) |
| Part C | Birth through age 2 (until the third birthday): Early intervention; IFSP (Individualized Family Service Plan); family-centered; natural environments |
| Part B (3 to 21) | IEP (Individualized Education Program); team includes parents, a regular and a special education teacher, an LEA representative, someone who can interpret evaluation results, others with relevant knowledge (often the SLP), and the child when appropriate (34 CFR 300.321) |
| Eligibility | Must have disability that adversely affects educational performance |
| 13 Categories | Includes speech/language impairment, autism, specific learning disability, TBI, hearing impairment, etc. |
| Transitions | IFSP → IEP at age 3; postsecondary transition services are in the IEP no later than the first IEP in effect when the student turns 16 (earlier if the IEP team decides) |
| Due process | Parents have right to dispute decisions; mediation and hearings available |
High-Yield: IFSP is family-centered with outcomes; IEP is student-centered with goals. Know the difference. Part C = birth through age 2 = IFSP = natural environments. Part B = 3 to 21 = IEP = LRE.
