This year marks the 50th anniversary of IDEA—a landmark law that ensured millions of disabled students would receive quality education. Yet, that promised education is at risk today with a federal funding gap of over $38 billion.
A black and white photograph of two young boys, one wearing glasses, sitting and listening attentively in a classroom setting. A yellow banner across the top reads "IDEA AT 50". Text is overlaid on the bottom half of the image: "The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) turns 50 this year. The law ensured disabled kids would have access to public schools and promised funding for schools to make it possible." The source is cited at the bottom. A photo of a young boy wearing glasses, giving a high-five to an unseen adult hand. The title banner reads "IDEA AT 50". Text is overlaid on the bottom half of the image: "IDEA serves children as young as infancy and toddlerhood through its Part C early intervention services. But administrative and funding barriers mean only about half who qualify are enrolled." The source is cited at the bottom. A graphic illustrating a classroom setup with several gray desks and chairs, and a few yellow desks and chairs highlighted in the middle. The title banner reads "IDEA AT 50". Text is overlaid on the bottom half of the image: "During the 2022–23 school year, 7.6 million students between the ages of 3 and 21 received special education services through IDEA. That’s three out of every 20 public school students." The source is cited at the bottom. A photo of a young girl in a pink shirt sitting in a wheelchair and looking directly at the camera, leaning on a table in a classroom. The title banner reads "IDEA AT 50". Text is overlaid on the bottom half of the image: "Vouchers = fewer protections for children The use of vouchers harms students with disabilities by resulting in the forfeiture of nearly all federal protections and the loss of guaranteed special education services." The source is cited at the bottom.
