Web Activity 2: Review laws that pertain to special education

ESE548 : The Class : In Practice : Busy BJ : Web Activity 2

Review the most obvious laws that address special education. It may come as a surprise to you to find out that it was still legal in 1958 to sterilize people, against their wishes, to prevent retardation or similar genetic traits from being passed on. In the mid 1980's the US legislature was debating the right of parents or a hospital staff to stop feeding a youngster with Down syndrome, based on the idea that the infant would live a life with a lack of intelligence and belief that the child might lack adequate quality of life.
