The Education for All Handicapped Children Act, now called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), required that all students with disabilities be given a free, appropriate public education. This means that students with disabilities have the right to receive education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living. The law also outlines the assessments, individualized education plans, and procedural safeguards that schools must provide for students with disabilities.
