The Education for All Handicapped Children Act (Public Law 94-142) ensures that students with disabilities receive a free and appropriate education. Here’s how it works:
- Individualized Education Program (IEP): Students with disabilities have personalized educational plans tailored to their specific needs.
- Related services: Schools provide additional support services such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, or counseling to aid students’ learning.
- Least Restrictive Environment (LRE): Students are included in regular classrooms as much as possible, promoting social integration.
- Parental involvement: Parents actively participate in developing their child’s education plan and making decisions about their education.
- Due process rights: Parents have the right to challenge decisions regarding their child’s education through a formal dispute resolution process.
Public Law 94-142 ensures that students with disabilities receive an inclusive education.
