Document Summary

Idea specifies that students with disabilities must have access to an array of educational placements. This is to ensure that each student has the opportunity to benefit from a quality education program. The requirement for these settings also informs states and districts that they should make available more than a single placement option for students. Local school districts must provide educational alternatives for those with cids, ranging from the less severe to the most severe. Although they have been left out of the educational mainstream, overtime they have provided progressive inclusion. Much of the confusion of instructional settings is due to the changes in vocabulary along with trying to figure out what these students should learn. This change has reflected a revolution in regards to expectations. Prior to the mid 70s" decisions about what students with cids should learn were bleak but easy. 1975 there was a six fold increase in students receiving special education.
