**Este módulo está disponible en español: Los 10 Datos Principales Acerca de la Educación Especial
Module 1 welcomes everyone to IDEA. With these training materials, you can learn about and give trainings that include:
- a quick overview to the 10 major steps in special education (three of which are evaluation, eligibility, and writing the IEP); and
- the top 5 acronyms used in special education (IDEA, FAPE, LRE, IEP, and TA&D) and what they mean;
- 5 key terms in IDEA and their definitions (child with a disability, special education, related services, supplementary aids and services, and transition services).
Module 1 is available in English and Spanish, as you'll see below. It includes:
- 2 slideshow presentations;
- a Trainer's Guide; and
- handouts for participants.
Please help yourself below, and download the components you need to learn on your own and/or to train others in the top 10 basics of special education.
Component #1: The Slideshows | Las Diapositivas
Due to its size and complexity, Module 1 is the only module in Building the Legacy that's divided into 2 slideshows. If you want to give an overview of the special education process and acquaint audiences with its 5 top acronyms, download Slideshow 1-1. If you want to go into a lot of detail, including the 5 key terms in IDEA, then also download Slideshow 1-2.

Component #2: Trainer's Guide | Guías para Entrenadores
There are 2 guides, an English and a Spanish, designed to show trainers how each slide operates (e.g., what clicks to make to move through the slide's content).
The English guide is where you'll find the full explanation of each slide's content. It also offers much additional info so that trainers can adapt training sessions to a length or detail suitable to the given audience.
The Spanish guide only shows how the slides operate, with thumbnail pictures of each slide. If you're a trainer in Spanish, you'll also want the English guide for its detailed content and supporting suggestions.

Note about the Spanish Translations:
In preparing the handouts in Spanish, NICHCY has chosen to use a certain vocabulary set for the terminology most frequently used in IDEA. IDEA itself is extremely and purposefully consistent about its terminology, and we felt it critical to do the same in Spanish. However, we fully recognize that there are many ways to say the same thing, and Spanish is rich with alternatives from country to country, region to region. So we've also prepared a glossary of the terminology used in IDEA, how we've rendered that terminology in Spanish, and other ways of rendering it that families may also hear. Share this with participants as you see fit or use it to guide your own translations. The glossary of terminology is available in two formats, PDF and Word:
There! You have all you need for Module 1. Please remember that these materials are designed to be thorough and authoritative sources of info on IDEA 2004. That's why they are so detailed. As a trainer, you are free to adapt the info we've offered to serve the purposes and needs of your audiences and the amount of time you have to spend with them.
