Students With Disabilities - Learning Disabilities in School The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is the nation’s oldest and largest federal education law. Intended to ensure that all children — including those with disabilities — have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education, ESEA provisions are critically important to students with learning disabilities.

This Policy Brief provides key recommendations for ensuring that students with learning disabilities continue to benefit from ESEA.
