Web Activity 2: Review laws that pertain to special education

ESE548 : The Class : In Practice : Caring Kit : Web Activity 2

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 possible lack of intelligence and concern about whether the child would have an adequate quality of life.
