Failing to Qualify:The First Step to Failure in School?$5.00 The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, IDEA, is supposed to ensure that all children with disabilities have access to an appropriate public education. However, schools may be barring that access for many children with mental and emotional disorders by using inadequate assessment rules. This issue brief illustrates the need for federal policy changes to encourage earlier and more accurate identification of children with mental and emotional disorders under the IDEA. (February 2003)
