Special Education Day is celebrated on December 2 to commemorate the signing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) into law in 1975. IDEA granted access to children with special needs to free and quality public education. The Act has been revised several times, but the crux of it remains the same, and is the foundation for special education in the U.S. In support of this Act, many organizations, including Merakey, pledge to provide high quality education to students with special needs.
