The Classroom Without IDEA

In reality, the classroom I am doing my field experience in may not exist at all if IDEA did not exist. This classroom is designed as one in which students can go to outside of their normal classroom. Individualized help and attention can be given to each child within this classroom. Children who come to the classroom may not all have an IEP, but they are all struggling with their grade level curriculum. IDEA stands for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. This law ensures that services are provided to children with disabilities throughout our nation. Without this law ensuring that these services are provided, they may not be provided for at all, hence the fact his classroom may be non-existent. These children would then have to simply learn to get along in a normal classroom setting without any additional help. For some students this is just not possible. Thankfully this classroom does exist and these students can get the help they need and deserve. This classroom has benefited from the law by the fact that it is even a classroom to begin with. These children needed extra help, so a classroom was needed and provided. Schools must educate children with disabilities and provide services for them.
