special education,characteristics, objectives & principles.Priyanka Chaurasia
Special education aims to meet the unique needs of children with disabilities by adapting curriculum and teaching methods. It provides individualized education programs tailored to each child's requirements. Special education is designed for students who need assistance beyond typical classrooms, either to function in school or reach their full potential. It has developed over time from exclusion and institutionalization to inclusive settings in regular classrooms.
This document summarizes major historical changes that have impacted special education. It outlines key US laws including the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975, amendments in 1986 extending rights to preschoolers, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1990, No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, amendments to IDEA in 1997 and 2004, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004. Each law expanded rights and protections for students with disabilities and their parents, increased access to accommodations and resources, and changed how special education is implemented.
This document discusses the history, laws, and trends affecting early childhood special education. It outlines key historic events like the passage of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act in 1975. Major laws impacting special education are also summarized, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, Rehabilitation Act, and No Child Left Behind Act. The document notes how these laws have improved support and protections for students with disabilities over time.
EDU 221 2014sp Federal legislation chapter 2blantoncd
Federal legislation beginning in the 1960s aimed to improve education for children with disabilities by moving them out of institutions and into their homes and communities. Major laws include Head Start which provided early education programs for at-risk children, Section 504 which mandated accommodations for those with disabilities, and IDEA (originally called PL 94-142) which guaranteed a free and appropriate public education for all children regardless of ability. Subsequent amendments expanded services for younger children from birth to age 3 and strengthened protections and support through school and into adulthood. Prevention efforts through prenatal care, newborn screening, and ongoing healthcare can also help reduce disabilities.
Special Education PPT. - William Allan Kritsonis, PhDWilliam Kritsonis
Special education laws aim to guarantee students with disabilities a free and appropriate public education (FAPE). Key laws include the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which was passed in 1975 as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits disability discrimination. The IDEA establishes requirements for identifying students who need special education (Child Find), evaluating them, determining eligibility, developing individualized education programs (IEPs), placing students in the least restrictive environment, and involving parents in the process. Section 504 has a broader definition of disability and ensures accommodations for eligible students. Both laws aim to balance student rights with school safety in disciplinary policies.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Legislation That Lead to Special Education Today
HISTORICAL EVENT IMPACT ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
• 1965 Congress adds Title VI to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 creating a Bureau of Education for the
Handicapped (this bureau today is called the Office of Special Education Programs or OSEP). Educating students with
disabilities is still NOT mandated by federal or state law. However, creation of the Bureau signified that a change was on the
horizon.
• 1972 Two significant supreme court decisions [PARC v. Pennsylvania (1972) and Mills v. D.C. Board of Education (1972)]
apply the equal protection argument to students with disabilities. The courts take the position that children with disabilities
have an equal right to access education as their non-disabled peers. Although there is no existing federal law that mandates this
stance, some students begin going to school as a result of these court decisions.
• 1973 Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is enacted into statute. This national law protects qualified individuals
from discrimination based on their disability. This national law was enacted with little fanfare. Most educators were not aware
that this applied to public schools.
• 1974 The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is enacted. Parents are allowed to have access to all
personally identifiable information collected, maintained, or used by a school district regarding their child.
• 1975 The Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA) is enacted. This was also known as P.L. 94-142. Today we
know this law as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Before 1975, children with disabilities were mostly
denied an education solely on the basis of their disabilities. EAHCA, along with some key supreme court cases, mandated all
school districts to educate students with disabilities.
• 1977 The final federal regulations of EAHCA are released. The final federal regulations are enacted at the start of the
1977-1978 school year and provide a set of rules in which school districts must adhere to when providing an education to students
with disabilities.
• 1986 The EAHCA is amended with the addition of the Handicapped Children’s Protection Act. This amendment makes clear
that students and parents have rights under EAHCA (now IDEA) and Section 504.
• 1990 The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is enacted. ADA adopts the Section 504 regulations as part of the ADA
statute. In turn, numerous “504 Plans” for individual students start to become more common place in school districts.
• 1990 The EAHCA is amended and is now called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This
amendment calls for many changes to the old law. One of the biggest was the addition of transition services for students with
disabilities. School Districts were now required to look at outcomes and assisting students with disabilities in transitioning from
high school to postsecondary life.
• 1997 IDEA reauthorized This amendment calls for students with disabilities to be included in on state and district-wide
assessments. Also, Regular Education Teachers are now required to be a member of the IEP team.
• 2001 No Child Left Behind is enacted. This law calls for all students, including students with disabilities, to be proficient
in math and reading by the year 2014.
• 2004 IDEA reauthorized There are several changes from the 1997 reauthorization. The biggest changes call for more
accountability at the state and local levels, as more data on outcomes is required. Another notable change involves school districts
providing adequate instruction and intervention for students to help keep them out of special education.

Editor's Notes
Students with disabilities have not always had the rights that they do now and they weren’t always given a free and appropriate education. This goes back all the way to 400 b.c during hippocrates times where he believed that emotional problems were not caused by supernatural powers but by natural forces. Then during the 1450s through the 1700s the belief of demonology and superstitions caused whose with who were disabled to be persecuted. During the 1800s, people are beginning to figure things out and residential schools for individuals with special needs began to emerge. They at first only worked with deaf, blind, or mentally challenged students. At the beginning of the 20th century was the start of the community-based programs for children with special needs. And Now all students with disabilities have a right to a free and appropriate education. Easter Seals—has helped people with disabilities for over 90 years. Edgar Allen was the main man who helped found the Easter Seals. This program offers hope and answers to millions of children, adults, and their families affected by the disability. Joseph Kennedy Jr. Foundation—Was created by the Kennedy’s because they had a daughter with a disability. The foundations main belief is that “persons with intellectual disabilities have the ability to love, learn, work, recreate, and worship like everyone else.” The foundation emphasizes the need to assist families by informing them about resources and including children and adults with disabilities in the community. Special Olympics—Established by Eunice Kennedy Shriver. This is an athletic program for people with disabilities. It is the world’s largest sports program.Association for Retarded Citizens (ARC, now “The Arc”—Was created by a small group of parents and other concerned individuals to act as voices of change. Offers support for individuals with special needs and supports many legislative and governmental actions in support of people with disabilities. Autism Speaks—was created by grandparents of a child with autism. It is the largest non- profit science and advocacy organization that funds research that focuses on the causes, prevention, treatment, and cure of autism, increasing awareness, of autism spectrum disorders and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. Gordon Hartman Foundation—Was created by Gordon Hartman who created an amusement park fir children and adults with disabilities. The mission is to provide a park that will nurture the minds and bodies of individuals with special needs and their families. http://www.midcoastadvocacy.com/
Some important pieces of legislation that have had a huge impact on special education are the vocational rehabilitation act of 1973, the Education for all handicapped children act of 1975, and the individuals with disabilities education act amendments of 2004.Vocational Rehabilitation Act, 1973—this required that no itherwise qualified handicapped individual in the U.S shall, solely by the reason of their handicap be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Education for all handicapped Children Act of 1975—PL 94-142 PL= Public Law 94-and 142—are the certain provisions that must be met for the student like FAPE, LRI, IEP etc. Says that all children between the ages of 3 and 18 must be provided with free and appropriate education (FAPE)Individuals with disabilities education act amendments although these amendments in 1997 and 2004 are alike the education for all handicapped childrens act of 1975 it is different because it includes the zero reject which mean public schools can not turn down anyone ages 3 to 21, and the public schools are responsible for including all tehse children in educational programs regardless of the severity of their disability. Another difference is that it is up to the sates to develop a program that will serve the needs of infants and toddlers with disabilities.http://admin.fortschools.org/PupilServices/StaffInfo/A%20TIMELINE%20OF%20SPECIAL%20EDUCATION%20HISTORY.htmVocational Rehabilitation act of 1973, this act said that individuals who were handicapped shouldn’t be excluded from participation in, denied benefits, or be discriminated against in any program or activity that receives federal financial assistance. At the time it, it was really applied to discrimination in the workplace/ employment.Education for all Handicapped children’s act of 1975 was a piece of legislation that said all people between ages 3 and 18 must be provided with a free and appropriate public education. This law meant that the education would be suited to the disability based on age, maturity, and past achievements of the child as well as the parental expectations. It focused on what was most appropriate for the student whether that be for them to stay in the regualar classroom or be taken from the classroom..whichever was most appropriate for each indvidual students.Individuals with Disabiliites education act of 2004 also known as IDEA said that all chidlren will receive an education regardless of how severe their disbaility is.
Some of the more unfamiliar categories are Autism which is a developmental disability that affects verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction that affects educational performance. Generally evident before age three. Some characteristics for autism include: communication problems, difficulty in relating to people, objects, and events, unusual play with toys and other objects, difficulty with changes in routine or familiar surroundings. Recommendations: children with autism respond best in predicable and consistent programs.Specific learning disabilities- a disorder that affects the child’s ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations. CHARACTERISTICS: primary typically developing children, not primarily visually impaired, hearing impaired, environmentally disadvantaged, mentally challenged, or emotional disturbed. They show discrepancies of intra-individual differences in a profile of their development. They also deviate so far from the norm of their group that they need specialized instruction.Signs include: trouble learning the alphabet, rhyming words, or connecting letters to their sounds, makes numerous mistakes when reading aloud and repeat and pause often, do not understand what he or she reads, may have trouble spelling, may have very messy handwriting, struggles to express ideas in writing, have a limited vocabulary, and trouble understanding jokes, comic strips, and sarcasm just to name a few.Attention-deficit disorder-attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder- this goes under the other health impairment category which is defined as having limited strength, vitality, or alertness. Some symptoms are inattentive type, in which a person can’t focus on a task or activity, hyperactive- impulsive type in which a person is very active and often acts without thinking, combined type- where a person is inattentive, impulsive, and too active.Mental or Cognitive Disability- diagnosed by determind the ability of a person’s brain to learn, think, solve problems, and make sense of the world and wheter the person has the skills he or she needs to live independently.For more information on the categories of disabilities visit: http://nichcy.org/disability/categories
