Title: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA): Final Regulations for P.L. 108-446
Authors: Richard N. Apling, Domestic Social Policy Division; Nancy Lee Jones, American Law Division 
Abstract: Legislative action impacting IDEA could result in connection with consideration of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which is authorized through FY2008. It is generally assumed that the 110th Congress will actively consider legislation to amend and extend the ESEA. Such legislation could impact IDEA - for example, regarding how adequate yearly progress (AYP) is assessed for children with disabilities and how special education teachers are determined to be highly qualified.
