Summary: 
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) are two of the nation’s most important federal laws relating to the education of children. Lately, these two laws have taken on new importance to parents of students with disabilities. Because it’s important that parents understand the requirements of NCLB, The National Center on Educational Outcomes has developed a guide for families which resources centers might find useful to disseminate.
