Welcome to our Bright IDEA video series which was created to
help parents navigate their way through the special education process. The
videos shine a light on how the federal law, the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA), works in this state. The information shared in these
videos will help you become an informed and effective partner with school
professionals. We hope these videos inspire your own “Bright Ideas” on how to
support and advocate for your child with a disability.
