Which of the following is NOT a major provision of IDEA?

• A. Annual Testing Standards
• B. Free, Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
• C. Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
• D. Procedural Safeguards

Answer: (A)

IDEA centers on guarantees for students with disabilities to receive a Free Appropriate Public Education in the Least Restrictive Environment, delivered through an Individualized Education Program, with Procedural Safeguards to protect students and parents. It also requires nondiscriminatory evaluation and access to related services and supports. The notion of annual testing standards is not one of the major provisions defined by IDEA; instead, assessment and accountability involve general state testing with accommodations under broader rules, while the core IDEA provisions focus on FAPE, LRE, IEPs, and procedural safeguards.
