The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 makes important changes to the existing law. IDEA 2004 changes the discipline rules for special education students, makes significant changes to the development and content of IEPs, redefines child find and eligibility determinations, authorizes recovery of attorney’s fees for prevailing school districts, adopts many of the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act, and, arguably, alters the FAPE standard. Make sure you understand these new legal changes! In this video, Melinda Baird Jacobs, Esq., takes you through the changes point-by-point, providing a thorough overview and practical explanation of each new requirement.
