Federal law, Public Law 108-446, The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004, defines the purpose of the legislation that governs education programs for children with special needs in the United States.
Section 601(d)(1)(A): “… to ensure 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 further education, employment, and independent living;”
