In this episode of Rewriting the Narrative, host Ben Tillotson commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) with guests Dr. Bill Bogdan and Dr. Luanne Purcell. Together, they reflect on how IDEA has transformed the landscape of education over the past five decades—guaranteeing access, inclusion, and opportunity for millions of students with disabilities. The conversation celebrates the progress made while acknowledging the challenges that remain, from ensuring equitable funding to supporting teachers and families. They also highlight the vital role of CEC and its local chapters in strengthening the special education community, advancing advocacy, and preparing the next generation of educators to carry IDEA’s mission forward.
