Within the last 10 years alone, an estimated 700,000 children – some as young as 6 or 7 – have made the arduous journey across the U.S. border.1 What compels these young individuals to brave such perilous voyages, and what realities await them upon reaching the United States?

Over the course of nearly a half century, Congress has revised the EAHCA multiple times, and the law is now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (“IDEA”).
