What is a Free, Appropriate Public Education? In this video I SHOW you HOW to get the BEST help for your child in school when it comes to a free, appropriate education and WHAT that looks like with the 4-part definition of the IDEA Act.

When it comes to IEP meetings and 504 plans, the problem is that schools don’t fully explain what a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) looks like. Understanding what FAPE is and what it looks like will help your child get better special education services and 504 plans at their school.

In this video, I show you the true definition of FAPE for Individualized Education Plans and 504s under IDEA. Make your next meeting easier with all the behind-the-scenes information about the special education process, Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), procedural safeguards, and much more…

Here's what you'll learn:
– What is free and appropriate public education?
– Understand the definition of the IDEA law
– How FAPE aligns with the IDEA law
– Why Understanding FAPE is Crucial for Effective IEPs and 504 Plans
