1. Also know as the Americans with disabilities act amendments (ADAA).

2.This was passed in 2008.

3. The act amended the original 1990 act to broaden what is considered a disability. This also reversed several supreme court cases that previously used too narrow of a view of disabilities.

4. It made coverage under the ADA much broader so many more people could be protected under it, as well as strengthening those protections for children with disabilities.

5. I would say this law addresses due process because it is ensuring equal treatment under the law for all children with disabilities.

3a. It accomplished becoming a law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life.

Common name: Daniel R.R. v. State Board of Education

Year: 1989

What did it accomplish: “Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals held that a segregated class was an appropriate placement for a student with Down syndrome. Preference for integrated placement viewed as secondary to the need for an appropriate education. Established a two-prong test for determining compliance with the least restrictive environment mandate for students with extensive support needs.” – Chapter 2 Page 42-43

What makes it unique: “Defined the standards for whether a child with disabilities should be placed in the least restrictive environment (LRE) and provided the courts with a two-part test to consider.” -https://www.3da.org/post/daniel-r-r-v-state-board-of-education-1989#:~:text=Daniel%20R.%20R.%20v.,two%2Dpart%20test%20to%20consider.

How did it benefit students, parents, teachers, or anyone: “The Daniel R. R. Test first considers if education in a regular classroom can be satisfactory with the use of supplemental aids and services. If not, the courts must consider if “the school has mainstreamed the child to the maximum extent appropriate”. More factors to consider are whether the child benefits educationally from general education if the state has made steps for accommodations, the overall mainstream experience, and their impact on peers.” https://www.3da.org/post/daniel-r-r-v-state-board-of-education-1989#:~:text=Daniel%20R.%20R.%20v.,two%2Dpart%20test%20to%20consider.

Which pillar of special ed did it address and how: I think that it falls under the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) pillar because it’s focusing on the standards for how a student with disabilities should be placed in an environment that would be most helpful to them.

Oberti v. Board of Education of the Borough of Clementon School District

# data[].attributes.body
Common name: Oberti v. Board of Education

Year: 1993

What did it accomplish: “This case established that if placement outside the classroom is necessary, the school district must then include the child in as many school programs with children who do not have disabilities “to the maximum extent appropriate.” https://pubintlaw.org/cases-and-projects/oberti-v-board-of-education-of-the-borough-of-clementon/

What makes it unique: “Established inclusion with supplementary aids and services as the presumption because it is “a fundamental value of the right to public education for children with disabilities.”

How did it benefit students, parents, teachers, or anyone: “A student cannot be excluded from a general education classroom solely because curriculum, services, or other practices would require modification. Excluding a learner from the general education classroom necessitates justification and documentation.” – Chapter 2 Page 41

Which pillar of special ed did it address and how: I think it address the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) pillar because it’s confirming that no student should be excluded from learning because of their disability.

1. The law is commonly referred to as the individuals with disabilities education improvement act

2. The law was passed in 2004

3. This law was a reauthorization of the individuals with disabilities education act (IDEA), and added some key improvements. Namely, the law required regular educators to be a part of a students IEP. The law also implemented response to intervention, or RTI. This was a three-tiered program for identifying disabilities in children earlier, and providing them with necessary services. The law also required special education teachers to be "highly qualified" which meant being certified specifically in special education.

4. This law benefited parents and students by ensuring that educators were "highly qualified", which should result in a higher quality of education for the students. The law also improved intervention so that it happened earlier in the students development.

5. I would say this law addresses free and appropriate education (FAPE) because it improves the education students are getting by requiring more out of special education teachers.
