Special Education
Special education provisions are legislatively mandated for students who meet specific criteria for attention due to learning
disabilities or particular excellence or talent in identified learning areas. Resources for both learning disabilities
education and gifted education are gathered by several sources: one being the
Clearinghouse on
Disabilities and Gifted Education. Other resources are listed below. To understand the legislative mandate in N. J., look
at the Administrative Code---N.J.. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (20
U.S.C. §§1400 et seq).
Chapter 14. For Gifted Education statute,
look At 6A:8-3.1 Curriculum and instruction. At the Federal level, support for the development of gifted and talented
students in the United States has been passed by the U.S. Congress reauthorizing the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented
Students Education Act as
Title II, Subpart 6 of the No Child Left Behind
Act of 2001.
