The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law ensuring services to children with disabilities throughout the nation. IDEA governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education and related services to more than 6.5 million eligible infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities.
Infants and toddlers with disabilities (birth-2) and their families receive early intervention services under IDEA Part C. Children and youth (ages 3-21) receive special education and related services under IDEA Part B.
Washington state law RCW 28A.155: Special Education provides the statutory basis for special education services in Washington. WAC 392-172A: Rules for the Provision of Special Education provides the regulatory basis for both IDEA and RCW 28A.155.
