What does education according to IDEA 2004 focus on for students with disabilities?

  1. Preparation solely for employment

  2. Access to curriculum without modifications

  3. Individualization to meet unique needs

  4. Integration into the private education sector

The correct answer is: Individualization to meet unique needs

The correct answer emphasizes the importance of individualization to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. IDEA 2004 (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) underscores that education for students with disabilities must be tailored to their specific requirements, ensuring that each student receives a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) that is designed to meet their individual needs. This individualized approach supports diverse learning styles, challenges, and goals, ultimately promoting better educational outcomes for these students. The focus on individualization is critical because it acknowledges that students with disabilities may require different instructional strategies, accommodations, and supports to thrive in an educational setting. By recognizing and addressing these needs, educators can provide a more equitable and effective learning environment. The other options do not align with the core principles of IDEA 2004 and overlook the necessity of a customized approach to education for students with disabilities. For instance, preparation solely for employment does not address the comprehensive educational experience that all students deserve. Access to curriculum without modifications fails to consider varying levels of ability and the need for supports that enable students to engage with the curriculum effectively. Lastly, integration into the private education sector does not inherently support the necessary individualization, as it may prioritize access over tailored educational plans specific to each student's needs.
