The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
passed by the United States Congress in 1975 is intended:
“to ensure that
all children with disabilities…
have available to them…
a free appropriate public education
that emphasizes
special education and related services
designed to meet their unique needs
and prepare them for
further education, employment,
and independent living;.”
Title 20 of the United States Code, Chapter 33.
Special education from the student point of view.
I was in special education in elementary school and middle school,
and experienced the consequences of it in high school and beyond.

Is it equal for special education students? Is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act working as intended? It it preparing disabled students for further education, employment and independent living?
