The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 1990 requires that public schools create an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for eligible students. Retaining the primary role of P.S. 64 as a public school, the adaptive reuse is focused around physiological and emotional obstructions students may encounter.
