50. L311: Introduction To Special Education: Course Foreword to develop for the University of missouri’s Center in meeting the needs of disabledyoungsters. consultation between regular and special education teachers http://cdis.missouri.edu/studentinfo/coursedata/1972/courseforeword.asp

CDIS L311: Introduction to Special Education Course Index Course Foreword The Advent of Special Education In the fall of 1975, when President Ford signed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act into federal law, Public Law 94-142 quickly received considerable attention from educators and parents alike. Some cheered the affirmation of civil rights and the expanded opportunities for disabled children implicit in the law. Others expressed concern about the assumed implications for schools and teachers viewed largely as unprepared for the new demands attendant to the education of disabled students. The law’s provisions mandating that all students with disabilities be educated in public schools and in the least restrictive environment garnered most of the public’s attention. This lengthy and complex piece of federal legislation included far greater implications, however. It undertook the challenge of meeting the consequences of this landmark legislation by detailing a variety of other less visible but no less important provisions. For example, Public Law 94-142 required school districts to undertake “child find” efforts throughout their local communities to identify children with disabilities who were now eligible but not currently attending public schools. Furthermore, to ensure that this education would in fact be appropriate to children’s needs, the law required the preparation of an individualized education program for every student with a disability. In addition, one whole section of this law was devoted to provisions mandating training opportunities for teachers and other school professionals who would ultimately be responsible for the education of students with disabilities. In particular, the law required states to provide both preservice and continuing inservice training to teachers and their colleagues in the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the special education needs of these youngsters. This course is in fact one of the outcomes adopted by virtually every state to meet, in part, the intent of those provisions. Within three years of the passage of Public Law 94-142, every state required a course in the education and/or psychology of exceptional children as one component of its teacher certification requirements.

District Wins Stunning Victory in Schools of Choice Transportation Case* By Peggy Burns, Esq. S chool districts in Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and the Dakotas can breathe a sigh of relief now that the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has issued its ruling in Timothy H. v. Cedar Rapids Community School District . The case concerned Kratisha, a special education student whose parents wanted to have her "choiced in" to a school in the district which was not her neighborhood school. Kratisha, who has cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegia, multiple orthopedic problems, and severe communication disabilities, attended Thomas Jefferson High School, where it is not contested that she was receiving a free appropriate public education (FAPE). Her IEP required special transportation services - a lift bus and establishment of a special route - which were provided when she attended her neighborhood school. Her parents wanted her to attend John F. Kennedy High School under the district's intra-district transfer policy. That policy provided in part: "Parents shall be responsible for the transportation of students not attending their resident area school." When the district refused, the parents filed a claim under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ("§504").

Begun in 1975 by a black sharecropper, the lawsuit alleged that the state's black universities were inferior to those attended by whites. The settlement is expected to set a precedent for other states dealing with issues surrounding enrollment standards.
