Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) requires that all children with disabilities receive a free and appropriate education. This means that they must be provided with the necessary accommodations and supports to be educated in the least restrictive environment possible. This does not necessarily mean that they must be mainstreamed in all cases, but rather that their education must be tailored to their unique needs and abilities. Special classes or activities may be necessary to meet these requirements, but the overarching goal is to ensure that all children with disabilities have equal access to education.
