Understanding IDEA

What it means for preschoolers with disabilities and their families

​

Understanding IDEA is a comprehensive question and answer style book describing the policies and procedures set forth by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, specifically the early intervention, special education and related services for young children with disabilities. This book helps family members and professionals alike to better understand the implications of IDEA's provisions for young children with disabilities and their families. Written by policy experts, Understanding IDEA makes life in a new world full of acronyms (FAPE, LRE, LEA) and regulations less confusing and less frustrating for those wishing to navigate children through the preschool years successfully.
