What does the Individuals with Disabilities Act do?

Establishes national curriculum standards
Regulates and provides funding for special education
Supports private education initiatives
Only oversees physical infrastructure for schools

The correct answer is: Regulates and provides funding for special education

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) plays a crucial role in the education of children with disabilities by regulating and providing funding for special education services. It ensures that eligible students have access to a free appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE). This means that schools are required to create individualized education programs (IEPs) tailored to meet the unique needs of each student with a disability. Furthermore, IDEA offers federal funding to states in support of special education initiatives, thereby promoting equity and access to quality education for all children with disabilities. In contrast, establishing national curriculum standards, supporting private education initiatives, and focusing solely on physical infrastructure are not the primary objectives of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. These aspects fall under different educational policies and regulations, which do not address the specific needs and rights of students with disabilities as IDEA does.
