">Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was amended by Congress in December 2004. In an amazing feat of timeliness and determination, OSERS staff released a draft set of implementing regulations on June 10, 2005, conducted public meetings to receive comments from stakeholders, and set about revising the draft, with the end result being that, as of August 2006, we have final regulations on this newest iteration of the IDEA. We give you links below to connect with this exciting development in the field of special education.
