The No Child Left Behind Act that was instituted in 2001 as a part of IDEA. This act was created to ensure that students with exceptional needs received the actual services they were entitled to receive. In the past, schools received monies for these children, however, there was little or no accountability for how those funds were spent. While this remains a controversial act, children with exceptional needs are benefitting from its requirements.
Imagine that you are working with a child who requires speech therapy and behavioral management training in school. What rights does this child have in school under the No Child Left Behind Act?
