When I was studying for my first Master’s degree in Educational Leadership, the topic of free and appropriate education for students with disabilities was briefly discussed. I do know that it falls under the Rehabilitation Act and I believe it has something to do with inclusion. With inclusion, students with disabilities are included in general education. It is essential that their educational needs are met as well as accommodating to their physical and/or mental disability. The student must have an individualized education plan and teachers must be trained to work with the students. Other than these few basic facts, that I can recall, I do not know much more about providing free and appropriate educational services for children with disabilities.
