What significant contributions did Public Law 94-142 make to early childhood special education?
What will be an ideal response?
PL 94-142 is considered the "Bill of Rights" for children with exceptionalities. It ensured that all handicapped children have access to free, appropriate education, and that their rights were protected. It also mandated individualized education programs (IEPs) for children, as well as identified procedural due process for parents/families regarding their child's education. Its significance is that it clearly focused attention on preschool-aged children and recognized the value of early education.
