How does the Individuals with Disabilities Act affect the education of children with disabilities?

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires public schools to provide eligible students with disabilities a free appropriate public education, with services outlined in an Individualized Education Program (IEP). Therefore, the correct choice is A: schools are required to set up Individual Education Plans. IDEA does not require students to be placed in separate classrooms; they should generally learn alongside students without disabilities when appropriate.
