No Child Left Behind
The No Child Left Behind Act is a significant piece of legislation for all families, including those with children with disabilities. The main themes of the law are accountability for results, emphasis on doing what works based on scientific Research, expanded parental options, and expanded local control and flexibility.
As children with disabilities are included in statewide testing and accountability measures, it is important for parents to be aware of their rights and the intersection of No Child Left Behind and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Parent Centers can help parents understand their options.
