Question

question 11 of 11
which of the following statements accurately describes eligibility requirements for idea benefits and protections?
choose an option below
the student must have any disability and require special education services.
the student must have one of 13 specific disabilities but does not necessarily need special education services.
the student must have one of 13 specific disabilities and require special education and related services.
any student in the least restrictive environment is eligible for idea benefits.

Explanation:

IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) eligibility requires two key criteria: the student must be diagnosed with one of the 13 specific disability categories defined by the law, and they must require special education and related services to meet their unique learning needs. Other options are incorrect: not all disabilities qualify, eligibility needs both the specific disability and service requirement, and placement in a least restrictive environment is a right for eligible students, not an eligibility requirement itself.

Answer:

The student must have one of 13 specific disabilities and require special education and related services.
