IDEA is the law that guarantees a quality education to all school-aged children. Many parents of students who have special needs depend on IDEA to support the technology, accommodations, modifications, and other services their children require in order to succeed in school. IDEA does not apply to higher education, making it both shocking and challenging for students who have special needs and are pursuing a college degree.
ADA is similar to IDEA however, the ADA only protects students and individuals who meet a specific set of qualifications laid out by the college board. Colleges are not required to make drastic modifications to the curriculum or provide substantial accommodations to students who have special needs.
