Description
Students with disabilities have a legal right to a free appropriate public education (called FAPE). The right is guaranteed by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. This one-sheet from Understood explains what this important legal right means for students who need help in school.
