3 HISTORICAL VIEW OF SPECIAL EDUCATION In 1961, President Kennedy created the President s Panel on Mental Retardation (federal aide to states) In 1965, President Johnson signed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (expanded access to public education for students with disabilities) By the early 70 s, still only a small number of students with disabilities were being educated in public schools. In 1975, two federal laws were enacted: 1. The Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EHA)- right to public education for all children regardless of disability 2. The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) requires states to ensure that ALL eligible children with disabilities receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) 3. IDEA (2004) reauthorization of law to strengthen timely identification of students, use of researched based interventions, and transition from HS to college/work. Schools must provide specialized services to address educational needs in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) -students must be educated with their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate -state and federal laws require IEP teams to consider general education classroom setting, with supplementary aids & services, before considering more restrictive placements
