Main Idea
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law which guarantees that students with disabilities receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE). The law builds upon prior practices and laws such as The Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975.

The IDEA law resulted in an attempt to halt the discrimination of individuals with disabilities within schools.
