    Easy influences of Special Education
    Students with disabilities, before 1954, were excluded from free public education. In 1954, the Supreme Court made a ruling in Brown v. Board of Education that the rights of individuals with disabilities had the right to a free public education. In 1965, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), established the free and reduced lunch systems. In December 2015, President Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) to Replace the No Child Left Behind Act.

    Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)was expanded in 1990 from its original form that was signed in 1975. IDEIA was formed in 2004 (with regulations published in August 2006 for school age youngsters) and in 2011 for babies and toddlers. IDEIA is broken down with every step of the process to get children with disabilities the help they need to succeed in school. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XMndYNEGFA

    The Individualized Education Program
    The Individualized Education Program (IEP)is to provide an appropriate education with special needs. Interdisciplinary teams develop a plan of action that is specialized for each individual child with special needs. The teacher will be given the plan so she can incorporate it in her lesson plans to teach every child in the classroom equally.

  • Inclusion

    Inclusion
    Inclusion means that children with disabilities would be in the same classroom as children without disabilities learning the same lesson. For children with mild to moderate disabilities would be able to learn to interact with other children that are the same age them. Children without disabilities would get the opportunity to learn to handle dealing with children that are not like them.
