Transportation is one of the most important services a school district is required to provide to students, including those with disabilities under federal and state laws. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA is the nation’s special education law. As part of making special education and related services available to children with disabilities, IDEA defines the term “child with a disability” as the following categories: Autism, Deaf-blindness, Deafness, Developmental delay, Emotional disturbance, Hearing impairment, Intellectual disability, Multiple disabilities, Orthopedic impairment, Other health impairment, Specific learning disability, Speech or language impairment, Traumatic brain injury, and Visual impairment, including blindness.
