The Office of Special Education Programs Spanish Glossary Project
The right of parents to participate in educational decision-making regarding their child with a disability is an important underpinning of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The OSEP Spanish Glossary was developed by the USDOE OSEP in collaboration with 17 Parent Centers across the country to ensure that educational terms related to the implementation of IDEA used in documents to promote parents’ authentic participation are translated in a uniform and comprehensible way, across states, geographical regions and communities of Spanish speakers.
