Consider This from NPR - After 50 years, is the future of special education in jeopardy?


Fifty years ago, special education in America was born.


In 1975, President Gerald Ford signed the landmark law known today as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA.


It guaranteed all children with disabilities the right to a "free appropriate public education."


Now, amid the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, there's growing concern that protections for students with disabilities are in jeopardy.
