#Part B of IDEA: Services for School-Aged Children

Part B of IDEA governs how special education and related services are provided to school-aged children with disabilities.

Updated, August 2014

A legacy resource from NICHCY

Since the enactment of the original legislation in 1975, children and youth (ages 3-22) receive special education and related services under Part B of IDEA. Part B is so named because it s the second part of the law itself. Its four parts are:

  • Part A General Provisions
  • Part B Assistance for Education of All Children with Disabilities
  • Part C Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities
  • Part D National Activities to Improve Education of Children with Disabilities

For school-aged children with disabilities (including preschoolers), Part B is the foundation upon which special education and related services rest.
