Education Law:
IDEA and Section 504
Define and Utilize Special Education 
Laws
The U.S. Congress began involving the federal government with 
special education over 30 years ago. It has passed two laws (Individuals with 
Disabilities Education Act—IDEA; and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973—section 504) 
with numerous amendments. The underlying purpose of both is to ensure that 
disabled children receive a public education. How does this affect you and your 
job?
This educational one-day seminar will give participants a better 
understanding of how both of these laws are applied by the courts. You will also 
learn about the similarities and differences between these two federal laws. In 
addition you will learn about the impact that the most recent amendments to 
these two laws have had upon children who have qualified for special education 
because of their disabilities.
*Focus on federal laws, but individual state laws may be 
discussed
