Diane v. California State Board of Education
Mexican students were considered retarded with invalid testing. Children should be tested in their own language. Diane wanted children to be able to get an education regardless of language. California BOE wanted to base test scores off of them not be able to read them. This being an unfair and unjust ruling on their behalf. Regardless of what language is spoken, each child should receive equal educational rights. Even if this means bringing in translators to help those children. -

Pennsylvania Association for retarded citizens v. the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
14 families had sued P.A. For not allowing children with intellectual disabilities equal education. In result to this hearing in was known that children with I.D. were admitted into general classrooms and allowed into public schools. This also helped parents gain access to their child's file and able to be active in their placement in the school. PARC made it possible for parents to be apart of their child's education and able to attend any meeting about their child as well. -

Mills v. The Board of Education in D.C.
In this case, Mills fought for the children's rights to due process in the Educational system. Mills partner with PARC to help fight for this right. D.C. fought against Mills about what was considered a disability and this case helped identify more specifically what's included; from mentally retarded, visually and hearing impaired,emotionally disturbed, learning disabilities and even physically disabled. This case opens up a new brighter future to those in need of help instead of being ignored. -
Conclusion
Each of these cases I meant to help children and needs whether it be an impairment or disability or some other kind and educational need, there was somebody there to help them. These cases are historical because they are at the beginning of time. We have taken these cases and expanded on them to ever greater extent. Thus creating 504 plans or IDEA as well an IEP, ADA and the No Child Left Behind Act. If someone hadn't spoken when they did, who's to say where we or these children would be now.
