Individuals With Disabilities Education Act - IDEA
INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES EDUCATION ACT ("IDEA") - To qualify under IDEA, a child must satisfy three criteria: (i) He must suffer from one or more of the categories of impairments delineated in IDEA; (ii) His impairment must adversely affect his educational performance, and; (iii) His qualified impairment must require special education and related services. Dennis E. Cichon, Responsibility Under the Education For All Handicapped Children Act of 1975, 48 Ohio St. L.J. 1089, 1112 (1987).
If a school district fails to provide free appropriate education from which a qualified child can benefit, a parent has an equitable right to reimbursement for a private educational placement. W.G. v. Board of Trustees, 960 F.2d 1479, 1485 (9th Cir.'92) (citing Burlington School Comm. v. Mass. Dep't of Educ., 471 U.S. 359 (1985)). However, a nexus must exist between the qualified impairment and the necessity of a private placement.

IDEA
[L:97] In the Logic, defined as "a concept of reason, whose object can be met with nowhere in experience", and thus cannot be known by us; Kant suggests, however, that such ideas "serve to guide the understanding through reason in respect of experience" by "using to their greatest perfection" the rules of reason. He associates such ideas with regulative principles, and gives as an example the idea of the universe, which is necessary "only as a regulative principle for the sake of the all-pervasive coherence of the empirical use of our understanding". [A320/B376] Similarly, in the Critique Kant speaks of the ideas of reason, which he also calls transcendental ideas, and he justifies abandoning (as hopelessly confused) the traditional meaning of the term. He writes, "a concept formed from notions [the source of pure concepts] and transcending the possibility of experience is an idea".

Idea
An idea is a concept or abstraction formed and existing in the mind. Human capability to contemplate ideas is associated with the ability of reasoning, self-reflection, and the ability to acquire and apply intellect. Further, ideas give rise to actual concepts, or mind generalisations, which are the basis for any kind of knowledge whether science or philosophy.
