Public Law 111-256 (Oct. 2010) amended the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and other federal laws, to change the references in our rules from mental retardation to references to an intellectual disability. The definition of the term has not changed. OSPI used expedited rule making to make these changes in accordance with federal law. We also updated incorrect rule and statutory references in the special education rules. These changes were filed on March 1, 2011 and will be effective 31 days later, on April 1, 2011. OSPI will update the Rules for the Provision of Special Education as soon as the rules are effective.
