I have used this website before in the posting of high-stakes testing! Like I said in that posting, I have used this website a ton in this Legal Issues in Special Education class and I LOVE it!!! This site has such good, straight forward facts about whatever you are looking for! This time it just happens to be IDEA 2004. And of course this site has it all.

This second site that I found is really pretty cool. The actual website is called "IDEA Partners." The idea behind this group is to help parents and advocates improve educational results for children with disabilities. On this site there is a section titles FAPE: IDEA 2004 Summary. I printed this out to have with me because it has a very detailed description of all changes that were made with IDEA 2004! I highly recommend going and printing you a hard copy of this information! It is wonderful to have on hand. The summary talks about the IEP process, Due Process, and Discipline. With each of these sections, the summary goes into great detail and breaks it down into subsection! Go check this out! It is a great resource:

This third website that I found is called the National Center for Learning Disabilties. This site has all the latest IDEA 2004 news. It explains what IDEA 2004 and how it is main federal program that authorizes state and local aid for special education and related services for children with disabilities, including students with learning disabilities. It has background information pertaining to IDEA 2004. Also it supplies research and policy and advocacy information. This site also breaks up the information in groups such as early learning (Pre-K), grades K-8th, and grades 9th-12th. There is a section titled resources in the web that supplies valuable sites that have an abundance if information about IDEA 2004. This is a great site! You can see at it:

Kyla,
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to see how many laws and rule are being put in place to ensure that all goes smoothly with students with disability.Yet they are few flaws that are still around. Now what do think of a developing country like Belize where no much positive recognition are placed on our children with learning disabilities.
I really have a challenging task whenI get back, but God will guide me.
