Minton Madison Mr. Welch Education 2901 May 15th 2024 The 6 Key Mandates of PL 94-142. There was a law that was passed in 1990 known as IDEA. IDEA stands for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and was revised from the Education of Handicapped Children Act/PL 94-142. IDEA is a law that makes education easier for children with disabilities in America. It ensures that these children get special education and other services that these children need to succeed in school and to succeed in the rest of their lives.

It includes annual goals for the child to complete, an IEP is also written into the IDEA Act. An IEP stands for Individualized Education Program/Plan, an IEP is used for students who struggle in school. It is a laid out legal document that provides a solid planned growth program that provides special education instruction, support, and special services the student needs to help them manage and flourish in public school. The IEP Module 3 states, “The IEP addresses the specific needs and current levels of performance of the student, and sets appropriate performance goals based on the student’s current circumstances that will demonstrate that the student is receiving sufficient support to progress toward annual goals.” This is important to remember because the IEP is constantly changing to ensure that the student is constantly reaching for new goals to achieve every school year/semester. It also assures full focus on the “next step” for the student. The IEP is eligible for the ages of 3 and up in public schooling, IEPs are not offered in private schooling as the IDEA billing does not require them to. There are also no IEPs in higher education, such

The IDEA and Section 504 are different in many ways. The first way that these two differ is that IDEA is an educational benefit law while Section 504 is a civil rights law. IDEA offers additional services and protections for those with disabilities that are not offered to those with disabilities. Section 504 insures that students with disabilities have the same access to education that their counterparts have. Section 504 helps to eliminate those barriers that exclude disabled individuals from participating in protected activities, which included a free and appropriate public education.

Do you feel that the accommodations listed in the IEP are sufficient to allow the student with disabilities to work successfully in a course in your subject area? I think the accommodations listed in the IEP are a good starting point to help James succeed in the classroom, but I think he may need some additional accommodations as reading comprehension is such an important skill when studying social studies. If I were James’ teacher, I would start by integrating the accommodations listed in the IEP and see how James does in my

According to her IEP team, Stacy should remain in the least restrictive environment, or the general education classroom, while working towards her goals. Later on in the document it states that Stacy should be in a special education class sometimes, but for most of her learning she should remain in the general education classroom, which is again important because of reasons I stated in my previous example. The term LRE is very necessary to be mentioned in an IEP because it indicates how much time a student will spend in the general education classroom, and how much time they will spend in another class, like a special education class. Being in these different types of classrooms can show how severe a students disability is, or what kind of disability they have, and can affect the kind of help they receive and how well they might transition into living an independent life upon graduation. For most students, it is best to have them remain in the general education classroom to maintain being social with their peers, but sadly some students don’t have this option and have to be in another type of class to benefit them the

It becomes the blueprint for the student’s education for the current school year.” I think looking at the IEP in this light is so incredibly important. If teachers and parents understand that it is both the “blueprint” and an accountability tool, the IEP will be more effective and meaningful. Every student deserves to have the best possible education, and the IEP helps to ensure that this happens among students with disabilities.

Good Evening Brandon, I enjoyed reading your post. I agree with your statement “I also feel its important that you include that students with ID that have comprehension to have a voice, an it helps make sure that the demands of that student are properly met”.

The purpose behind this is simple; it is the student lives that are being affected by the decisions made in these meetings. These students’ lives will be changing as they approach adulthood.
