Building the Legacy: IDEA 2004 Popular Bookmark 
The Office of Special Education Programs has created a "one-stop shop" for resources related to IDEA 2004 and its implementing regulations. It is designed to assist states, districts and families, and 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), etc.), video clips on selected topics, topical briefs on selected regulations, links to OSEP's Technical Assistance and Dissemination (TA&D) Network, and a Q&A Corner where you can submit questions and a variety of other information sources.
