I Heard Of Ferpa, But What Is It, And Does It Apply To Special Education?
Have you wondered what your child with Autism’s school record contains? Would you like to look at your child with learning disabilities’ records, to see copies of school evaluations? This article will discuss FERPA in length and give you ideas on how to use to help your child.
FERPA stands for The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act 20 U.S.C. 1232g. This law establishes confidentiality and access rights for students’ educational records. FERPA applies to any educational institution to which funds have been made available under any program administered by the Department of Education.
