What is the purpose of IDEA according to the material?

• A. Accommodate how and modify what they learn
• B. Increase funding
• C. Identify all students with disabilities
• D. Mandate segregation

Answer: (A)

IDEA is about making sure students with disabilities receive a free appropriate public education by tailoring instruction to their needs. This means adjusting how the material is taught (accommodations) and sometimes altering what is learned (modifications) so the student can participate in the general curriculum to the greatest extent possible. The goal isn’t to increase funding, identify every student with a disability as the end, or require segregation. Instead, it emphasizes providing supports and services within the least restrictive environment to help each student access learning.
