FAPE stands for?

• A. Free Appropriate Public Education
• B. Federal Aid for Public Education
• C. Free Accessible Public Evaluation
• D. Functional Academic Performance Education

Answer: (A)

FAPE stands for Free Appropriate Public Education. This concept under IDEA guarantees that students with disabilities receive special education and related services at public expense, designed to meet their unique needs, and provided in the least restrictive environment. An IEP outlines the specific services and how progress will be measured. The other options don’t match the established term: federal aid for public education, free accessible public evaluation, or functional academic performance education.
