NATIONAL SPECIAL EDUCATION DAY – December 2
Sat Dec 2nd

National Special Education Day

National Special Education Day, December 2nd, honors changes in federal law that resulted in the nation's first federal special education law.

Mills vs. Board of Education, a U.S. District Court lawsuit in the District of Columbia, began in 1971, ruled it was unlawful to deny exceptional children, including those with mental and learning disabilities, publicly funded educational programs.. The 1975 Education for All Handicapped Children Act was triggered by court decisions like this. President Gerald Ford signed the bill into law on November 29th, 1975, according to President Gerald Ford. States that accept federal funds are required to ensure equal access to children with disabilities, according to federal law. In 1986, legislators added guarantees to assist parents and educators in establishing an education plan for children with disabilities. The United States introduced legislation in 1986. In 1990, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (IDEA) was renamed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and expanded coverage for all children with developmental delay. The act has been amended over the years to enhance services and standards throughout the education system.

Idea impact

IDEA made education available to all American children, and this day honors the strides that have been made in special education. Many people with disabilities had no to no education before IDEA, and those with disabilities had no to no education before IDE A. Schools were not expected to make accommodations for children with disabilities. Those with disabilities were not expected to make accommodations for children with disabilities. Although some states offered special schools, some states did not have special schools, the education and facilities were not always equal. In addition, many parents could not afford to send their children to a special school.

Children with disabilities had the right to the same free education as every other child. Between the ages of 3 and 21, there are 13 specific areas where children may qualify for services under the IDE A. Those areas are listed below. IDEA was instrumental in raising graduation rates for students with disabilities.

Many reforms went beyond simply providing students equal education, which resulted in several others. The integration of students also helps to eliminate the stigma of disabilities. Another IDEA project was the introduction of technology for students with disabilities and classrooms. Both students' education was enhanced by these technologies.
