Annual Reports to Congress on the Implementation of IDEA

As required by Section 664(d) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the U.S. Department of Education (ED) reports annually on the progress made toward the provision of a free appropriate public education to all children with disabilities and the provision of early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities.

Below, find recent Annual Reports to Congress on the Implementation of IDEA. These annual reports focus on children with disabilities being served under IDEA Part B and Part C, nationally and at the state level, and describe our nation's progress in:

1. Providing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) for children with disabilities under IDEA, Part B, and early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families under IDEA, Part C;
2. Ensuring that the rights of these children with disabilities and their parents are protected;
3. Assisting States and localities in providing IDEA services to all children with disabilities; and
4. Assessing the effectiveness of efforts to provide IDEA services to children with disabilities.
