 The Teacher Training Expansion Act creates incentives for schools and education groups that provide increased training and support for teachers who work with children with disabilities. It provides the Secretary of Education with authority to give preference, in the distribution of certain grants under Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, to local educational agencies and certain public or private nonprofit organizations that provide training to regular education personnel to meet the needs of children with disabilities.


 The Teacher Training Expansion Act of 2007 was introduced and sponsored to amend the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Because of the growing number of children with disabilities in schools, the government thought that the teachers should have more training in order to teach individuals with disabilities. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is a law that ensures services to children with disabilities throughout the nation. It governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education and related services to infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities.


 The Teacher Training Expansion Act of 2007 affects those teachers and schools being trained to help educate children with disabilities. Also, the disabled children are being affected because their level of ability to be educated is increasing.
