On this day in 1975, Public Law 94-142 which served as the basis for the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), was signed into law. IDEA has changed the lives of children with disabilities. 🤔 This law makes free appropriate public education available to eligible children with disabilities. 🎒 As of school year 2020-21, more than 7.5 million youth need special education services. 🚫 Without IDEA, there would be many children who would not receive the special education and related services that they need. 💪 The signing of this law means we are able to help provide the support and individualized services that children need to benefit from public education.
