, Chapter 1:
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).
Potential Chapter 1 Activities:
1. Have your class watch the movie The Wild Child (1970). Discuss Itard’s treatment of Victor and
how it impacts special education today.
2. Invite a special education lawyer to speak to your class about past and current court cases that
impact special education services. As part of this activity each student group (no more than two
or three students per group) could research a particular current court case and present on its
potential impact on current special education regulations and practices in the classroom.
3. In-class groups (four to five students each) create a brochure for parents and/or school districts
that detail the commonalities and differences between IDEIA, Section 504, and ADA relative to
people with disabilities at different ages and in different settings.
