Podcast: IDEA at 50

Project PI Dr. Catherine Voulgarides joined Dr. Federico Waitoller’s podcast to unpack racial and linguistic disproportionality in special education.

Drawing on her multi-state research project CE-IDEA and her forthcoming book Beyond Compliance: Reclaiming Agency in Special Education, Dr. Voulgarides offered a systems-level perspective on how monitoring actually functions across federal, state, district, and school levels—and why the current approach often falls short.
