Extractions: Laws and acts have been passed to stop the segregation. Why is it that education is for the children and the childs education is to be the foremost in mind, school systems have bent the laws and acts passed in order to receive additional federal funding and yet special education is still lacking? All the articles about the legal history I have read, the words provided additional federal funds has had to be included in each act or law in order for the local school systems to do anything for special education. In the early 1900s the disabled children were moved to day schools where they went to school during the day and then returned home in the afternoon. This was after the first White House Conference on children in 1910 (Lodge Rogers, et al 221). After the 1910 Conference special segregated classes in the public schools became popular (Lodge Rogers, et al 221). As children with disabilities were moved from institutions to public schools, permanent segregated classes were formed in public schools to meet their needs, resulting in a change from isolation to segregation (Lodge Rogers, et al 221). We saw in 1958, the first significant federal involvement in the education of students with disabilities, the Mentally Retarded Children Act. Funds were appropriated for the training of teachers for children with mental retardation (Lodge Rogers, et al 223). The special education teachers were students themselves as they were only beginning to learn how to teach those with special needs. With the National Defense Act in the same year, more funds were increased for the education of all children in public schools (Lodge Rogers, et al 223). Still it was not mandatory for school systems to educate disabled children.

Extractions: The School-to-Work Act, Perkins, §504, and the ADA provide only sketchy guidance as to how to design the support services, modifications, and accommodations that individual students need for meaningful participation. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), however, provides for individualized planning and service design. IDEA provisions regarding evaluations, Individualized Educational Programs, and transition planning and services provide powerful tools for accomplishing what these other laws require. IDEA provides federal aid to assist state and local education agencies in meeting the needs of children and youth with disabilities. In return, states and local school systems must comply with the detailed substantive and procedural requirements set forth in the statute and the regulations implementing it. B. Who is covered

Extractions: CHAPTER 15 SPECIAL EDUCATION One of the most litigious areas of public education is special education. Federal laws, regulations, and local procedures greatly impact programming for students with disabilities. The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) most directly applies to special education programs in local school districts. Some of the key requirements of this law are: An ongoing Child Find effort to locate all students with disabilities in the area served by the district. School Based Admissions Release Committees (ARC) to ensure due process throughout the process of identification, evaluation, and placement. Evaluations to determine student eligibility and needs. Development of an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for each student found eligible for special education services. Involvement of parents throughout the process, including making them aware of a detailed set of parent rights. Provision of due process hearings as a mechanism to solve disputes that cannot be resolved through other means. While IDEA is the law most applicable to students who receive services through special education programs, two other laws have serious implications for local school districts.
