Transportation and Children with Disabilities - Partners Resource Network

Understanding transportation rights is essential for families of children with disabilities. This resource from Partners Resource Network breaks down how transportation can be included as a related service under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It explains how eligibility is determined by the IEP team, what types of transportation accommodations may be provided (like specialized buses or aides), and how schools are responsible for ensuring safe, accessible travel. The page also includes examples, FAQs, and guidance to help parents advocate effectively for their child’s needs.
