The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a nationwide law that protects the rights of children with disabilities and their families. It requires that free public education and appropriate specialized services are provided to children with disabilities, through early intervention services (up to 3 years old) and special education in school (3-21 years).
In 1990 congress enacted ‘Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)’ to: 1) provide appropriate education for children with disabilities and, 2) to seek out and treat children with disabilities within school districts.
The Chafee Amendment (enacted in 1996) states that non-profit groups or government agencies are allowed to reproduce or distribute literary works without infringing on copyrights if the literature is intended for blind individuals or for individuals with a disability.
