Individuals with Disabilities Act
Everyone says, "We need to help the schools more, it's all about the students." An act was created in 1975, to help those students who were disabled. This law has been criticized by many administrators and teachers. Over the years, because of these criticisms it has been revised and expanded throughout different schools. Higher education figures, such as principles, need to look closely at this act. They're have been cases in schools that have discriminated against this law. People who do or do not have a disability should know about this law and what it exactly means. This law has various amounts of positive key aspects concerning it. Some think its fair, and some do not. Education is suppose to help kids grow into adults with knowledge they have retained and make a good living for themselves. Disabled kids should have this advantage too.
"The IDEA is a civil rights act, not an entitlement program." (Gordon and Keiser) This
law is an expansion and revision of a law once called, "Education for All Handicapped
Children Act." Now it is known as the law of “Individuals with Disabilities Act." It is
known that "President Clinton signed the 1997 revised IDEA amendments into law to help make a fair and balanced compromise for everyone." (Marchand) Legislation was strict when leveling the terms concerning this law. The government has special fundings for special education in schools. It guarantee’s free education for children with disabilities ages 3-21 years of age. In time, this soon meant that, schools would have to have special transportation abilities for students. For students in wheel chairs, they created ramps so it was be easy to have access into the school. Elevators were rapidly bu...

There were almost one million children who were excluded from getting education and many children who had only limited access to materials. In response to this concern, Congress passed Public Law 94-142 in 1975, named the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EHA). This law said that all children with disabilities would, “have a right to education, and to establish a process by which State and local educational agencies may be held accountable for providing educational services for all handicapped children.” This law also assured that children with disabilities have a free appropriate public education and provided assistance to States to provide for this education("Archived: 25 Year History of the IDEA."). This law was eventually changed, modified and amended was amended in 1997. It is now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is one of the most significant laws in American History. Before the ADA was passed, employers were able to deny employment to a disabled worker, simply because he or she was disabled. With no other reason other than the person's physical disability, they were turned away or released from a job. The ADA gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. The act guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, State and local government services, and telecommunications. The ADA not only opened the door for millions of Americans to get back into the workplace, it paved the road for new facilities in the workplace, new training programs, and created jobs designed for a disabled society (Frierson, 1990). This paper will discuss disabilities covered by the ADA, reasonable accommodations employers must take to accommodate individuals with disabilities, and the actions employers can take when considering applicants who have disabilities.
“Human Trafficking appears as the most common form of modern day slavery, the fastest growing business of organized crime, and the third largest criminal enterprise in the world” (2014).
La Movida began when Dictator Francisco Franco died in Madrid on November 19th, 1975. Franco’s 36-year reign had been one in which rigid public and church laws preserved the traditional role of family, enforced formal relations between the sexes, and controlled expression in the press and media. Eager to distance themselves from Franco’s repression and censorship, Spain quickly began the move to democracy called the “Transition”. King Juan Carlos I helped the transition by quickly naming Adolfo Suárez Prime Minister. Spain’s first democratic vote in over 40 years took place in 1977, and a new constitution was signed in 1978. That constitution is still in place now. In 1979, Enrique Tierno Galván became the mayor of Madrid, the capital of Spain. In this position he had a lot of power to help or hinder La Movida. His choices helped Spain to move past its repressive past. Then, in 1982 the Socialist PSOE party, headed by Felipe González, was voted in by a landslide and became Spain’s first leftist government since the 1930s.

Prior to 1975, educational options for a child living with a mental or physical disability were limited. The family of the handicapped child was most likely forced down an path that lead to the institutionalization of the child and distancing the child from the benefits of receiving a free and public education. It was after federal legislation passed the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (42 U.S.C. § 1983) that monumental changes began to develop that allowed a better understanding of the needs and capabilities of people with various handicapping conditions. Soon after this legislation, Public Law 94-142, also known as the Education for all Handicapped Children’s Act of 1975 (EHA) would further increase the public awareness by providing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) for children suffering from disabilities. Following the EHA legislation reformations concerning the education of disabled individuals would soon become numerous and legislative acts were passed enabling accommodations for disabled individuals in the fields of vocations and technology. In 1990, President Gerald Ford signed legislation replacing P.L. 94-142 with the Individual with Disabilities Education Act of 1990 (IDEA, 20 USC 1400). By definition, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law ensuring services to children with disabilities throughout the nation (US Department of Education, 2011).
Utilizing their natural forces, they personified an idea of trust and the past by being the deliverers of truth and also history. The Muses came into his life and transformed it for the better; this is apparent because he focuses on them in the beginning and the end of his poem. Hesiod’s overall purpose of including the Muses was to create a base of authority and reliability while reading his poem; the presence of the Muses did that exactly. The nine daughters of Zeus led Hesiod’s stories and that is obvious when you simply read them. The stories that he tells have a lyrical rhythm to it as they are read to resemble the song and dance of the Muses as heard by Hesiod long
...nt will not be able to provide this support, then what will the people of Spain do? Another challenge Spain is facing is the illegal immigration of immigrants to Spain. To deal with the illegal immigration problem Spain has set up stricter border control as well establishing at least 15 legalization programs, legalizing about 600,000 African, Eastern European, and Latin American immigrants into Spain.
Laws were put in place in order for facilities to be adequate for care along with proper treatment of patients. Prior to late 1950s and 60s people with mental disabilities had little protection under the law. Finally, in 1975 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act was enacted. This law was what mentally challenged individuals needed in order to get the services, like education, that they needed. Gargiulo stated that in the year 1990, “Probably the most significant civil rights legislation affecting individuals with disabilities, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (PL 101-336) was signed into law…(2015)” This law allows people with all kinds of disabilities not be discriminated against when trying to find a job or public
Human trafficking, or the selling and buying of people, is a well-hidden yet prominent issue within today’s society. It is both an immoral and horrific topic that needs brought to attention and dealt with. When human beings are manipulated into work, sexual servitude, or economic hardship, human trafficking is occurring. In the year of 2006, only one individual is convicted of human trafficking per 800 victims (UNGIFT). By looking at straight statistics, reasons human trafficking happens, and the toll it has on people, it is very clear that this is a major issue that is happening in our world.
Since the enactment of Public Law 94-142 (The Education for All Handicapped Children Act) in 1975, approximately one-half of all hearing impaired students in the United States have had the opportunity to be mainstreamed into regular education classrooms. This law was intended to ensure that any student with disabilities had access to a ."..free and appropriate education as identified in each child's IEP."
A few people making changes is not enough; there needs to be a lot more emphasis placed on helping students with disabilities. With the discrimination against handicapped or students with disabilities, it is up to the parents to ensure the students get a good education. The students with the disability and their parents have to fights for equal rights (Barkan, 2008).
