Celebrating 50 years of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

🎉 Celebrating 50 Years of IDEA! 🎉 This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) — a landmark civil rights law that transformed public education in the United States. Before IDEA was passed in 1975, 80% of children with disabilities were kept out of public schools. Many were denied access entirely. But thanks to landmark court cases and the tireless advocacy of families, educators, and disability rights leaders, IDEA opened the doors of opportunity for millions of students. Today, IDEA continues to ensure: ✨ Equal access to education ✨ Individualized supports and services ✨ Inclusion, dignity, and high expectations ✨ Stronger transitions to college, careers, and community life We’ve seen incredible progress: 📈 Rising graduation rates 📘 The opportunity to earn a high school diploma—including the new Alternate Diploma 🎓 More students with disabilities enrolling in college than ever before 💡 And growing awareness, acceptance, and innovation in special education As we celebrate 50 years of this good IDEA, we honor how far we’ve come—and recommit to the work still ahead. Here’s to the students, families, educators, and advocates who make inclusion real every day.
