IDEA 2004
The reauthorized Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act, which took effect July 1, 2005 ushered in sweeping changes to schools' special-education programs. Among them: Individual Education Plans for most students no longer will contain short-term goals, parents now will bear the burden for proving that a child's disruptive behavior stems from a disability and special-ed teachers will have to be "highly qualified" under the law's provisions.
