Special education is no longer just about ACCESS. It's about PROGRESS!
The Education for All Handicapped Children Act initially focused on ensuring children with disabilities had access to public education.
But as the law evolved, particularly through the 1997 IDEA amendments, greater emphasis was placed on measurable goals, student progress, and accountability.
Today, simply providing services isn't enough. Schools must focus on whether students are making meaningful educational progress!
