Summary
Commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and highlights its role in guaranteeing a free, appropriate public education for children with disabilities. The resolution traces IDEA to the 1975 Education for All Handicapped Children Act, notes that before IDEA more than 1 million children were excluded or segregated, and honors IDEA’s protections such as individualized education programs, early intervention services, parent partnership, access to assistive technology, and ongoing federal support for Parts B, C, and D.
