A Guide to Parent Rights in Special Education (Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, 2017) states the following:
“Special education, for students ages 3 to 21, is guided by federal and state requirements. The federal requirements are referred to as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The state requirements are referred to as the Ohio Operating Standards for the Education of Children with Disabilities (Ohio Operating Standards).”
