What is the main purpose of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)?

To penalize schools that fail to accommodate disabilities
To establish a National disability registry
To ensure least restrictive environment and develop IEPs
To provide financial support for disabled students

The correct answer is: To ensure least restrictive environment and develop IEPs

The main purpose of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is to ensure that students with disabilities have access to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE) possible. This includes the requirement for schools to develop Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) tailored to meet the unique needs of each student with a disability. These IEPs are legal documents that outline specific educational goals, necessary accommodations, and services required to support the student’s education. The focus on the least restrictive environment is crucial because it emphasizes inclusion, allowing students with disabilities to learn alongside their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate. Overall, IDEA promotes educational equity and the right of children with disabilities to receive the same quality of education as their peers.
