ACCURACY, JURISDICTIONAL, AND POLICY LIMITATIONS

Special education laws, procedures, and criteria can differ by state and between school districts. Additionally, special education laws and policies can change over time. While IEP Equipped strives for accurate and up-to-date information, IEP Equipped does not guarantee that all information in these guides will remain current or applicable for your specific circumstances. As a school psychologist in Virginia, I am most familiar with the educational laws, regulations, and policies in Virginia, but Virginia special education laws and procedures may not apply to all states. These guides discuss concepts that may be relevant to special education generally and under federal law; however, you are responsible for confirming how laws, regulations, policies, procedures, and eligibility criteria apply in your state. Please check with your state’s Department of Education and your school district’s Special Education Department to confirm that information.
