IDEAs that Work

To be competitive in today's global society, everyone must reach his or her full potential. IDEA '97, administered by the Office of Special Education Programs, is working toward this future for students with disabilities everywhere. OSEP's research and its continuous interaction with States have yielded positive results for children with disabilities -- and those without have benefited also. We will continue to share IDEAs that Work through ongoing technical assistance, monitoring that promotes quality improvement and innovative research.
