| Abstract | District schools that receive funding through the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) too often are unable to effectively identify and cultivate the talents and skills, gifts and calling, of students with disabilities, placing them at serious risk of segregation from the general population and relegating them to a life in sheltered workshops, surrounded only by other workers with disabilities. Enabling parents of children with special needs to move their federal IDEA funding to a school, service provider, or treatment plan of their choice is a long-overdue reform that would help parents to meet the unique needs of their child. Currently, IDEA funding largely supports children in public schools; 43 states now allow students to attend public charter schools, and 29 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico offer some form of private school choice. One such private school choice program, now available in five states, is the education savings account (ESA) option. With an ESA, students with special needs (along with some other eligible populations in some states) can receive a portion of what the state would have spent on them in the public system in a restricted-use account. Parents can then use those funds for any education-related purpose, including private school tuition, online learning, and special education services and therapies. By making federal IDEA funding student-centered and portable in the form of ESA-style accounts for families, this federal support can become more effective at achieving the goal of preparing children with disabilities for integrated, competitive employment and independent living.
