Mediation in special education is a process to assist parents and schools in resolving disagreements regarding the education program of a student with disabilities. Mediation is a voluntary method to resolve disputes through a more informal means, using a neutral third party. IDEA 2004 requires that states offer mediation as an option to resolve disputes.
