Special Education History and Legislation:
Impact on Current Classroom Assessment Practices
A historical review of the events and periods of philosophical thought from the early twentieth century
through present day that have impacted assessment is provided in this chapter. The litigation that directs
current assessment practices such as the use of non-biased assessments, and administration and
interpretation of various assessment measures in a timely manner are examined. An evolution of the
federal legislation that mandates classification categories, specific guidelines and timelines for assessment
is described with an emphasis on the legal requirements involving parental consent and participation,
roles of a multidisciplinary team, and due process. A comparison of federal legislation from preschool to
adulthood is provided along with important information regarding the impact of federal civil legislation
(Rehabilitation Act of 1973).

the following positions except:
a. scores were used to identify children who needed additional assistance
b. scores were not intended to be used to identify children as incapable
c. scores were not used to support any theory or intellect or define an innate/permanent ability
d. scores were used to determine an intelligence quotient
(FK/U) 2. How did Terman revise the Binet-Simon scale for the English population?
(FK/R) 3. After World War I schools began to use _______________ tests, which covered more material,
allowed peer comparisons and were less subjective to identify students who may have an educational
problem.
a. intelligence Quotient
b. standardized achievement
c. essay writing
Unistudydocs

c. It is caused by low motivation
d. It is caused by deafness, blindness or other processing impairments
(PK/An) 6. A native Spanish-speaking student you have been working with was recently labeled as
learning disabled. The assessor made sure to obtain parental consent before testing, provide testing in all
the suspected areas of a disability and to include parents in planning meetings for the student. What
aspect of the Education for all Handicapped Children did the assessor not do, thereby risking the child’s
right to a Free and Appropriate Education in the Least Restrictive Environment?
a. The student was not observed in the classroom
b. The student was not provided with reasons for why they were being tested
c. The parents were not asked to sit in on the testing situation to observe

knows about the disease, the potential needs of the student, equipment that may be needed and procedures
that are in place to help the student access the curriculum?
