Special education defined
As far as special education laws in Ohio — and across the country — are concerned, special education includes services and systems that ensure children with disabilities have maximum access to the standard education curriculum. Three federal laws in particular drive special education laws across the country:
- Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
- Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
Passed in 1975, IDEA guarantees that all public school students have the right to access the regular curriculum in the school they attend regardless of any disabilities they may have. IDEA guarantees children with disabilities a free appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE).
Discrimination and special education students
Special education laws in Ohio and at the federal level prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act prohibits programs receiving federal funding from discriminating against people with disabilities.
