Explain why ADHD is not included as a separate category of special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and why many professionals are disappointed with this situation
What will be an ideal response?
When the original law now known as IDEA was passed in 1975, research on ADHD was in its infancy, and the advocacy base for children with ADHD was not well developed. By the time of the reauthorization of the law in 1990, there was substantial research on ADHD, and the major advocacy group was large and strong. Nevertheless, their lobbying efforts were unsuccessful. The Department of Education did decide that students with ADHD could be eligible for special education services under the category of other health impaired and under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Many professionals think that this is too roundabout a means of identification and are upset because Section 504 does not require an IEP.
