Historical timeline | Education homework help

In this assignment you will demonstrate your understanding of the learning objectives: Analyze the relevant historical timeline of landmark cases that have influenced special education and the education and treatment of individuals with exceptional needs in the school setting and Identify federal legislation that guides the foundations of special education in the public schools. Additionally, completion of this assignment represents an introduction to Course Learning Outcome 1 and MASE Program Learning Outcomes 1 and 2.

The history of special education has included a long and arduous path for parents, teachers, and children as exemplified in Celebrating 35 Years of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. but this process also has generated some very positive outcomes. Beginning in 1954 with the landmark civil rights case Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court ruled that separate is not equal and therefore educating children with special needs in isolated environments does not provide an identical education to that of their non-disabled peers (Expanding Civil Rights, n.d.). Since the passage of this groundbreaking legislation, other individuals and activist groups have followed suit, fighting for the legal rights of children with disabilities.
