IDEA RE-AUTHORIZATION: Attorney Fee Caps will Leave Our Children Behind

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the nation's special education law, is currently before Congress for reauthorization.

The House bill (H.R.1350) would allow state governors to establish limits on recoverable fees.
