Specially Designed Instruction

IDEA regulations define “specially designed instruction” as:

Adapting, as appropriate to the needs of an eligible child

under this part, the content, methodology or delivery of

instruction (i) to address the unique needs of the child that

result from the child’s disability; and (ii) ensure access of the

child to the general curriculum, so that the child can meet the

educational standards within the jurisdiction of the public

agency that apply to all children. (34 CFR Sec. 300.39(b)(3)
