Inclusion and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
This focused episode of the ’Love is a Classroom: Stories of Inclusion’ podcast features a discussion with special education attorneys Amanda Selogie and Vicky Brett from the Inclusive Education Project. The conversation addresses legal concerns that came up in series 2. The conversation focuses on the legal framework of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004 and how it supports the inclusion of children with disabilities in mainstream classrooms. They explore common challenges like funding and staff shortages and debunk myths about the legality of denying services due to budget constraints. Amanda and Vicky emphasize the importance of individualized education plans (IEPs), the power of collective parental advocacy, and the critical role of teachers in fostering inclusive environments. They also provide practical advice for families and educators on navigating these legal and systemic challenges to ensure that children with disabilities receive appropriate and inclusive education.
