Which is NOT a goal of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act?

The goal of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) is to ensure that students with disabilities receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), are educated in the least restrictive environment (LRE), and have access to general education alongside their non-disabled peers whenever possible. While the promotion of unrestricted access to education and the support of students in less restrictive settings are fundamental principles of IDEA, the act does not specifically guarantee access to recent technologies.

Technology can enhance learning and provide new opportunities for students, but IDEA focuses primarily on educational access, appropriate services, and the rights of students with disabilities rather than detailing specific provisions for technology. Therefore, while the inclusion and use of technology in education are important, they are not explicitly outlined as goals within the framework of IDEA, making the notion of guaranteeing access to recent technologies for students not a goal of this legislation.
