  1. What federal law mandates that students with disabilities receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment?

    Answer: Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)

    IDEA is the primary federal law that guarantees FAPE and mandates appropriate special education services in the least restrictive environment.

  2. What does IEP stand for in the context of special education?

    Answer: Individualized Education Program

    An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legally binding document outlining the special education services and goals for a student with a disability.

  3. Under IDEA, how frequently must an IEP be reviewed and updated at a minimum?

    Answer: Annually

    IDEA requires that an IEP team review and revise the IEP at least once per year to ensure it continues to meet the student's needs.

  4. Which disability category is the most prevalent among students served under IDEA?

    Answer: Specific Learning Disability

    Specific Learning Disability (SLD), which includes conditions like dyslexia and dyscalculia, is consistently the largest disability category served under IDEA.

  5. What is the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) principle?

    Answer: Students with disabilities should be educated alongside non-disabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate

    LRE requires that students with disabilities be educated with non-disabled peers as much as possible while still receiving appropriate services.

  6. A student who does not qualify for services under IDEA may still receive support through which plan?

    Answer: A 504 Plan

    Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act provides accommodations for students with disabilities who do not meet IDEA eligibility criteria but whose disability substantially limits a major life activity.

  7. What age range does IDEA cover for special education services?

    Answer: Birth to age 21

    IDEA covers special education services from birth through age 21, with Part C covering birth to age 3 (early intervention) and Part B covering ages 3 to 21.
