      "summary": "The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the main federal program concerning\nthe\neducation of children with disabilities. It authorizes state and local aid for special education and\nrelated services for children with disabilities and contains detailed due process protections for\nchildren with disabilities and their parents. On December 3, 2004, President Bush signed\n\u201cthe\nIndividuals with Disabilities Education Act Improvement Act\u201d ( P.L. 108-446 ), a major\nreauthorization and revision of IDEA. The new law preserves the basic structure and civil rights\nguarantees of IDEA but also makes significant changes in the law. Most provisions of P.L.\n 108-446 go into effect on July 1, 2005. This report will briefly discuss several of the major\nchanges made by the reauthorization. For more detailed information see  CRS Report RL32716 ,\n Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA): Analysis of Changes Made by P.L.\n 108-446,  by Richard N. Apling and Nancy Lee Jones. This report will not be updated.",
