Dr. William Allan Kritsonis - Americans with Disabilities Act in Education, PPT.William Kritsonis
油
The Americans with Disabilities Act has evolved over time through various laws and court cases to promote equal access to education for students with disabilities. Early laws like the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 aimed to ensure students with disabilities were not excluded from public schools. Later revisions like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1990 and 1997 focused on improving educational outcomes for these students. Current laws like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 and No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 emphasize accountability and using data-driven practices to monitor student progress. This history demonstrates how special education has shifted from a focus on access to emphasizing quality of education.
