The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, has opened doors that were once firmly shut for students with disabilities. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the IDEA, we reflect on how far we’ve come, and the work yet to do, to protect the rights and opportunities for students with disabilities. | U.S. Department of Education

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has been life-changing for so many. To celebrate #IDEA50 today, we asked some of those people - students, families, educators, advocates, and so many others – to share in our 50th anniversary celebration. | U.S. Department of Education

For 50 years, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has opened the doors of public education to millions of students, ensuring they receive a free, inclusive education and the services they need to learn. IDEA has transformed lives and strengthened our school communities. But these protections are at risk. Moving IDEA out of the Department of Education would weaken the supports students and educators rely on. | NEA Today
