In the United States, special education law is primarily governed by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This video explains how IDEA is structured to support children with disabilities, focusing on two critical components: special education services and related services.

Discover how these services are organized into an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), which addresses each child's unique learning challenges, providing the extra instruction and assistance they need to succeed in school. Learn how the IDEA works to ensure your child has equal
access to a supportive educational experience.
