Special Education Policy – Description
Essay Question
The regulations for Part B of IDEA (34 CFR 300) were designed “to insure that all children with disabilities have available to them a free appropriate public education that emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for employment and independent living . . .” While the word “free” is easily defined, we have had difficulty in interpreting the term “appropriate.” Based on your understanding of the regulations and relevant litigation, what does the word “appropriate” mean?
