The Building the Legacy training curriculum was produced by NICHCY at the request of the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) at the U.S. Department of Education. The curriculum is intended to assist in understanding and implementation of the IDEA 2004 Part B regulations. The training curriculum has five overarching themes with multiple training modules beneath each theme.

Theme A: Welcome to IDEA!
There are two modules in Theme A. The handouts for both of these modules are grouped in one package. If you are downloading
either module, you'll want the handout package for Theme A.
You only need to download Theme A handouts once; the package includes the handouts for both modules.

Module 1: The Top 10 Basics of Special Education
Module 1 includes the following components provided in separate files. If you need or want the entire module, be sure to download each of the components in either Word or PDF format.
Discussion. The discussion text describes how the PowerPoint presentation operates and explains the content of each slide, including relevant requirements of the statute passed by Congress in December 2004 and the final regulations for Part B published in August 2006. The discussion is available in 4 PDF files (or as 1 accessible Word file), listed below.
The first 2 PDFs provide discussion related to sections 1 and 2 of the module, which are intended for audiences needing a basic introduction to special education. The last 2 PDFs provide the discussion related to section 3 of the module, which looks in detail at five key definitions in IDEA (child with a disability, special education, related services, supplementary aids and services, and transition services). Section 3 is intended for more advanced audiences or those hardy souls who want all the details!

If you haven't downloaded any handouts for Theme D yet, then go back to the top of Theme D and download the handouts file in PDF or as an accessible Word file.
PowerPoint Presentation. NICHCY is pleased to provide a PowerPoint presentation around which trainers can frame training on IDEA's provisions regarding children with disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in private schools.. Important note: You do NOT need the PowerPoint software to use the presentation. It's set to display, regardless. Within the Discussion file all slides in the presentation are described, along with how they operate.

Additional Materials: Quotes
NICHCY is also pleased to make available two slide shows of 25 quotes each for trainers to use as they see fit, such as before a training session while participants are coming into the room or during breaks. The quotes touch upon universal themes in our lives, such as children, families, the art of teaching, leadership, teamwork, love, and growth. The slides themselves feature vivid pictures of children, teachers, moms and dads, schools, and...well, you get the idea. We hope you (and your participants) enjoy viewing these slide shows of quotes as much as we enjoyed creating them.
To download the quote shows, right-click on the link and save the zipped file to your hard drive. Then double-click on the icon to extract the zip file.

—Future Modules—
What's Next?
Hallelujah! Building the Legacy is now finished!
How so, you might wonder, when Modules 3 and 4 are not available? The news is that those two modules have been postponed, pending reauthorization of NCLB. The 17 modules listed on this page finish out the curriculum for now.
A CD with all of these materials will soon be released by NICHCY. We'll keep you posted on its availability.

—Important Thanks You's—
This training curriculum would not be available without the support of the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). Not only did OSEP request that NICHCY develop a training curriculum on IDEA 2004, it also has provided incredible guidance and legal review of all content. OSEP staff have written many of the modules, attorneys at the Office of General Counsel have exhaustively reviewed all written materials for consistency with the statute and its implementing Part B regulations, and logistical, technical, and fiscal support has been provided. NICHCY would like to express its deep appreciation for OSEP's dedication and commitment in making this product possible.
