that disadvantaged families are receiving any benefits that should result
from the implications of this policy. Subpart 3 of part D discusses centers
that will most likely affect suburban and urban families, as that is where
the centers will be placed. However, part of the criteria to receive
government funding is that centers should provide assistance to families
in urban and rural areas.




                WHAT
 The entire IDEA relates to economic support, childrearing, and family
 caregiving, but subpart 3 of part D specifically relates most to family
 caregiving. Because this section of the policy is about providing services
 to help parents learn how to best help their disabled children be
 successful in school and be adequately equipped for adulthood, family
 caregiving as a function of the family is directly affected by this policy.
 As for childrearing, this section of the policy also involves getting parents
 of disabled children to play an active role in the education of the

 children as well as the health care of the children.
