Legislation That Lead to Special Education Today
Legislation for people with special needs has been developing since the 1960's. During the 1960's many parent organized advocacy groups became vocal and attracted enough attention to change the legislation. Many different Acts and Public Laws here are the most important:
Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 Section 504
All students can be apart of their education in their classroom. The child may be in a wheelchair but is mentally fine. This says that they do not need to be in special education.
P.L. 94-142, Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975
All people ages 3 to 18 are allowed a free and appropriate public education.
Appropriate means: suited to the disability age, maturity, and past achievements of the child and parental expectations.
P.L. 99-457, Amendments of 1986: Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities
This established statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary, interagency programs of early-intervention services for infants and toddlers with handicaps and their families.
