History That Changed Education

Education of all Handicapped Children Act (PL94-142)
This law provided that handicapped children and adults ages 3-21 be educated in the "least restrictive environment" to the maximum extent appropriate, meaning that they are educated with children who are not handicapped and that special classes, separate schools or other removal of children from their regular educational environment occurs only when the severity of the handicap is such that education in regular classes cannot be achieved. http://www3.nd.edu/~rbarger/www7/pl94-142.html -
Public Law 101-476,the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
In 1990, PL 101-476 changed the title of the special education law to Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), also known as the "Person First" law. The intent of the law was to recognize children first and the disability second. For example, "learning disabled students" are now referred to as "students with learning disabilities." All phrases putting the term "handicapped" before children were deleted. http://college.cengage.com/education/resources/res_prof/students/spec_ed/legislati -
