Explain the rationale behind PL 99-457 and how it differed from the rationale of PL 94-142.
What will be an ideal response?
PL 99-457 was originally known as the Education of the Handicapped Act Amendments of 1986. This law changed the scope and intent of services for preschoolers with special needs. The belief behind this law was that early intervention was cost-effective and was a way to lower future costs of special education for children in need. The rationale for this law was much different from PL 94-142, which was rooted in the civil rights movement and saw special education as a constitutional right for children with disabilities.
