Education is regarded as a fundamental right in the United States. Up until the 1970’s, however, children with disabilities were being denied this right. Congress passed landmark legislation to redress this injustice, beginning with the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and culminating with the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act. These new federal laws strived to end educational discrimination against children with disabilities, by guaranteeing all children have access to a free and appropriate education in the best environment possible. These laws made clear what schools and other public entities obligations were for the education of the disabled, and also proposed specific measures to be taken for their protection, thereby ensuring that all citizens had access to an education and the self-sufficiency and education provides.…

To quote my initial thoughts paper “Special Education is a universal term describing education that is provided to children with a range of various disabilities.” In final thoughts, the answer to “What is Special Education?” is not so much changed but dramatically enhanced. Special Education is a general term to define the type of education provided to children with disabilities or other special learning considerations beyond that of the “normal” student. According to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA), …”special education and related services designed to meet…unique needs and prepare…for further education, employment and independent living.” According to our textbook, under IDEA, schools are required to provide appropriate educational services to students with disabilities and to actively involve parents in the educational process. IDEA provides the legal basis for the current special education services provided in public schools. (p5)…

Students have been deprived of the educational rights for several years. Since the early 1900’s students were rejected for their different race, ethnicity, or capabilities. For the students who had any disability, they were sent off to intuitions away from others decreasing their learning abilities and others who were undiagnosed were prevented from having a successful educational experience. However, in 1979 a law was passed IDEA called the Education for All Handicapped Children Act providing states with money for disabled students. Even though this law was created for these students, it did not provide the proper services so, in 2006 the act was revised and renamed Individuals with Disability education Act. This ensured that each student…
