The Administration is actively working to shrink or eliminate the U.S. Department of Education, including possibly moving the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department. As special education professionals, we know that, at its core, IDEA is an education law. Moving IDEA programs to HHS would de-emphasize the purpose of IDEA to provide a free and appropriate public education and other critical activities to infants, toddlers, children, and youth with disabilities, and challenge the federal role to provide evidence-based research, personnel preparation, and technical assistance to advance the field of special education. Please call on lawmakers to preserve the critical functions of the Department of Education.
