IDEA Website
http://idea.ed.gov 
The U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs
(OSEP) recently launched a new IDEA website that is meant to provide a
"one-stop shop" for resources related to IDEA and its implementing
regulations. This "living" website will change and grow as resources and
information become available. When fully implemented, the site will provide
searchable versions of IDEA and the regulations, access to cross-referenced
content from other laws (e.g., the No Child Left Behind Act [NCLB], the
Family Education Rights and Privacy Act [FERPA]), video clips on selected
topics, topic briefs on selected regulations, links to OSEP's Technical
Assistance and Dissemination (TA) Network and a Question Corner, where you
can submit questions, and a variety of other information sources.
