The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that each child identified as a student with a disability be provided free and appropriate education (FAPE). This is accomplished through the implementation of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) developed by parents and school personnel. This plan guides the provision of supplementary aids, services, and supports to meet the unique needs of a child with a disability. The educational plan must meet the child's needs that result from the disability and any other unique needs. The services a school district provides are not determined by the child's IEP category of disability. IDEA regulations state that "the services and placement needed by each child with a disability to receive a FAPE must be based on the child's unique need and not on the child's disability. This document provides parents and teachers with definitions and guidelines regarding: (1) The services and supports that are provided; (2) Progress monitoring; (3) The fundamentals of positive behavior support; (4) Functional behavior assessment; and (5) Positive behavior interventions.
