The
Partnership is a new project which aims to inform and educate families
and advocates about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of
1997 (IDEA 97). The new law supports the achievement of high standards
for the 5.8 million children eligible for special education in the U.S,
but for this shift to actually result in positive educational outcomes,
families and advocates need to understand IDEA and their roles in
improving results. The Partnership helps to ensure that the changes
made in IDEA are understood by families and advocates and are put into
practice at local and state levels.
