The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law that establishes a formal process for evaluating children children with disabilities and providing individualized education programs and services.
The purpose of the IDEA is to ensure children with disabilities receive an appropriate education.
To achieve this goal, the IDEA imposes requirements on school districts and other local education agencies.
The federal government provides financial assistance to states to implement the IDEA, and states must adopt laws to implement the IDEA.

An individualized education program (IEP) is a written plan for a child with a disability that is developed by a team of persons, including the child's parents and school personnel.
The IEP describes the child's needs, and it includes academic and functional goals related to those needs.
The IEP also includes a statement of the special education and related services the child will be provided along with modifications and accommodations that will be made to the child's school program to help the child in attaining the IEP goals and in making progress in the general education curriculum.

By looking at summaries of the following Supreme Court cases, you will see that we have made much progress in protecting the educational rights of children with disabilities.
But more progress in protecting these rights clearly needs to be made.
This is a truly disturbing holding by the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court affirmed the forced sterilization of a disabled woman with a history of disability in her family, stating that "three generations of imbeciles are enough."
Landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court found state laws establishing segregated public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional.

An IEE is an independent educational evaluation performed to help determine the educational needs of a child with disabilities.
You may obtain an IEE if you disagree with the assessment the school district performed in developing your child's IEP and you want an independent expert to conduct an assessment.
Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, a parent of a child with a disability has a right to request an independent educational evaluation at public expense if the parent disagrees with the special education assessment performed by the child's school district.
