Pennsylvania, 1972 - (correct answer)The first right to education lawsuit. Laid the
foundation for the right to education for all children with disabilities previously denied if
they had not attained a mental age of 5 by the start of first grade. Special Education

other court cases for children with other disabilities.
*Mills v. Board of Education of the District of Columbia, 1972 - (correct answer)The right
to special education was extended to all children with disabilities, not just mentally
retarded children. Judgements in PARC and Mills paved the way for P.L. 94-142.
Students with disabilities must be given education regardless of the schools' financial
limitations.
,Public Law 93-112 (Rehabilitation Amendments of 1973) - (correct answer)The first
comprehensive federal statute to address specifically the rights of disabled youth. It
prohibited illegal discrimination in education, employment, or housing on the basis of a
disability.
Section 504, Rehabilitation Act of 1973 - (correct answer)Section 504 expands on older
law by extending its protection to other areas that receive federal assistance, such as
education. Protected individuals must (a) have a physical or mental impairment that
substantially limits one or more major life activities, such as self-care, walking, seeing,
breathing, working, or learning; (b) have a record of such an impairment; or (c) be
regarded as having such an impairment. A disability in itself is not sufficient grounds for
a complaint of discrimination. The person must be otherwise qualified, or able to meet,
the requirements of the program in question.
Public Law 93-380 (Education Amendments of 1974) - (correct answer)P.L.94-142 is the
funding portion of this act. It required states to provide full educational opportunities for
children with disabilities. It addressed identification, fair evaluation, alternative
placements, due process procedures, and free, appropriate public education.
Public Law 94-142 Education for all Handicapped Children Act), 1975 - (correct
answer)Provided for a free, appropriate public education for all children with disabilities,
defined special education and related services, and imposed rigid guidelines on the
provisions of those services. It paralleled the provision for a free and appropriate public
education in section 504 of Public Law 94-142 and extended these services to
preschool children with disabilities (ages 3-5) through provisions to preschool incentive
grants.
Seven fundamental provisions of IDEA - (correct answer)1. Free Appropriate Public
Education (FAPE)
2. Notification and procedural rights for parents.
3. Identification and services to all children
4. Necessary related services.
5. Individualized assessments
6. Individualized Education Plans (IEP's)
, 7. Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
Goss v. Lopez, 1975 - (correct answer)This case ruled that the state could not deny a
student education without following due process. While this decision is not based on a
special education issue, the process of school suspension and expulsion is obviously
critical in assuring an appropriate public education to children with disabilities.
Public Law 95-56 (Gifted and Talented Children's Act), 1978 - (correct answer)This case
defined the gifted and talented population, and focused upon this exceptionally
category, which was not included in Public Law 94-142
*Larry P. V. Riles, 1979 - (correct answer)This case ordered the reevaluation of black
students enrolled in classes for educable mental retardation (EMR) and enjoined the
California State Department of Education from the use of intelligible tests in subsequent
EMR placement decisions.
Parents in Action on Special Education (PASE) v. Hannon, 1980 - (correct answer)Ruled
that IQ tests are necessarily biased against ethnic and racial subcultures.
Board of Education v. Rowley, 1982 - (correct answer)Amy Rowley was a deaf
elementary school student whose parents rejected their school district's proposal to
provide a tutor and speech therapist services to supplement their daughter's instruction
in the regular classroom. Her parents insisted on an interpreter even though Amy was
making satisfactory social, academic, and educational progress without one. In deciding
in favor of the school district, the Supreme Court ruled that school districts must provide
those services that permit a student with disabilities to benefit from instruction.
Essentially, the court ruled that the states are obligated to provide a "basic floor of
opportunity" that is reasonable to allow the child to benefit from social education.
Public Law 98-199 (Education of the Handicapped Act [EHA] Amendments), 1983 -
(correct answer)P.L. 94-142 was amended to provide added emphasis on parental
education and preschool, secondary, and post-secondary programs for children and
youth with disabilities.
