Identify and describe the implications of two laws passed in the 1970s and/or 1980s for persons with disabilities and their families.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: With changes in the 1970s and 1980s, many opportunities opened for persons with disabilities and their families. For instance, with the passage of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the education for all Handicapped Children Act of 1975 much was happening. Specifically, the Education for all Handicapped Children Act established an emphasis on providing accommodations and modifications to the environment rather than focusing largely on fixing the person with a disability. Additionally, the introduction of the procedural safeguards in special education law codified the rights of parents and youth in transition to participate in the education decision-making process.
