(1975) Education For All Handicapped Children Act
With the help of court cases, such as Brown vs. Board, the enactment of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act made sure that students with disabilities are educated in all public school districts (Peterson, 2007). EAHCA included providing free appropriate education, special education to children ages 3 to 21, supplemental services, due process, zero reject, and least restrictive environment (Woods, 2006). EAHCA would experience amendments and change it's name to IDEA (Peterson, 2007).
