Release Time:  For Immediate Release In America, we believe that every child, regardless of class, color, creed, or ability, deserves access to a world-class education.  But as recently as thirty-five years ago, an American child with a disability might have attended school without the interventions and accommodations necessary for their success; or been involuntarily isolated in a state-run institution; or even received no education at all.   That was wrong – and America set out to right it.  Today, across the United States, nearly 6.6 million students with disabilities rely on the provisions of the landmark Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to ensure that they enjoy the same educational rights as all children.
