NEW GUIDE EXPLAINS LAW IMPACTING STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Teachers of struggling learners have a new resource to draw upon. The National Center for Learning Disabilities has just launched an innovative, online guide to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which is designed to explain the federal laws that underpin special education in every state. Although created primarily for parents, the guide is also a valuable source of information — in accessible language — for classroom teachers who may not have a background in special education. Teachers can use the guide as a referral for parents or use it themselves to better understand the rights and requirements of their students who have special needs.
