Celebrating 50 years of federal law IDEA ✨️

This November, the CDE proudly joins the nation in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This landmark law transformed public education and strengthened our commitment to opportunity and inclusion.

Since its passage in 1975, IDEA has empowered millions of children, families, and educators across the country. It laid the foundation for individualized education programs, early intervention services, and inclusive practices that open doors to college, career, and community life.

Today, California serves more than 870,000 students with disabilities from birth through age 22, and each student is supported by the dedication of families, educators, administrators, and community partners. Throughout the 2025–26 school year, special education programs and partners across California will commemorate the 50th anniversary of IDEA with monthly themes, activities, and stories that honor the history, progress, and future of special education.

✨ ¿Te sientes abrumado con el proceso del Plan Educativo de tu hijo? No estás solo. ✨

Sabemos que enfrentar reuniones, evaluaciones y decisiones importantes puede generar estrés, miedo o confusión. Pero recuerda algo muy importante: eres la voz más fuerte y valiosa en el equipo educativo de tu hijo.

💛 Algunos recordatorios que pueden ayudarte:

🔹 Pregunta todo lo que necesites. Tienes derecho a entender cada paso.

🔹 Lleva anotaciones. Apunta dudas, observaciones y logros recientes de tu hijo.

🔹 Pide copias de documentos. Tenerlos a mano te dará claridad y seguridad.

🔹 Busca apoyo. Hay asesores, grupos de padres y profesionales listos para acompañarte.

🔹 Confía en tu intuición. Nadie conoce a tu hijo como tú.

🌱 Este proceso no es fácil, pero juntos podemos hacerlo más claro, más humano y más esperanzador.

💬 Si necesitas orientación, apoyo emocional o simplemente un espacio seguro para expresarte, estoy aquí para acompañarte.
