Children with disabilites
And the rights they have in schools.
Before "Education for All Handicapped Children Act" (1975)
Free Appropriate Public Education Act (1973)
There are many acts in place to take care of and protect the children with disabilities.
IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)
Five test questions
- Do you think having disabled children in schools is a good or bad thing?
- What rights are being denied by not allowing them to attend public school?
- Should disabled children have their own schools or is it better for them to be blended in with other students?
- What amendment does it say that you are allowed and free appropriate public education?
- What would be different about our country today if these laws were not passed?
