The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, also known as IDEA, is a federal law that gives eligible students with disabilities the right to receive special education services and assistance in school. To be eligible for special education services, a student with a disability must need instruction that is specially designed to meet the student’s unique needs based on that disability. The process and procedures for initiating a referral for evaluation for special education services are found in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and TEC Sec. 29.004.
