"How the Education Department helps students with disabilities get an education"

opb.org/article/2025/04/03/how

This administration is also targeting disabled folks. That includes disabled children who are just trying to get an education.

Gwiazdowski has medical and physical disabilities and was, for many years, a full-time wheelchair user. A federal law protects against the kind of discrimination Gwiazdowski says she experienced, and she invoked that law – the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) – throughout her schooling to advocate for herself. “Quite frankly, had it not been for the publicly accessible resources that the Department of Education has provided to students with disabilities like myself, I probably would not have gone to college,” says Gwiazdowski, who is now both a college graduate and an advocate for disability rights. “And I definitely wouldn’t be waiting for law school to start this fall had it not been for those resources.”
