EHA is enacted to ensure the rights of all children with disabilities were protected by law, as well as the expectations of their futures were raised to meet higher expectations, therefore placing accountability and pressure on educators to get them there. Prior to this law, only one in five children were established access to education in the United states.

This case surrounds a student who qualified for special educational services due to emotional disturbance when he was placed under suspension while the expulsion process took place, which goes against the stay put provision of the EAHCA which states children with disabilities cannot be removed from their educational placements until proceedings are finalized unless parents agree. Therefore, the court decided the student must be placed back in his school until the review of his IEP was finalized.

EHA was converted to IDEA which granted students with disabilities the right to an inclusive education in the general education classroom if deemed appropriate for the child. Additionally, it required the parent’s approval prior to assigning a student an IEP to ensure the child’s best interest is the foundation of the IEP. -

The main ideas that built IDEA but made major improvements that included increasing the necessary qualifications for special education teachers, required the review of a child’s IEP if they have violated a code of student conduct to deice what the cause of the violation was within 10 days of the schools decision to change their placement, and establishes authority to the hearing officer to return a child to previous placement or remove them from a setting if deemed dangerous to other students.
