A User’s Guide to the 2004 IDEA Reauthorization (P.L. 108-446 and the Conference Report)

Silverstein and The Center for the Study and Advancement of Disability Policy (CSADP) have published a user’s guide to the 2004 IDEA Reauthorization.

“The purpose of this User’s Guide is to provide a tool for understanding the major new policies included in Part A (General Provisions), Part B (Assistance for Education of All Children with Disabilities), and Part C ((Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), as amended in 2004. Thus, the Guide generally identifies additions, deletions, and modifications to IDEA, as amended in 1997; the Guide does not reference provisions in the statute that were not changed by the 2004 IDEA Amendments or changes that are only technical or minor in nature. In addition, the Guide includes relevant language from the Conference Report articulating congressional intent.”
