The Standards And School Law

Among these rules, one of the rules is the Disability Discrimination Act of 1995; it is a legislation which protects the rights of young people and children with ill health or disabilities. It also influences the duty of schools and other related institutions to create a general setting. The Disability Discrimination Act of 2005 is another act which will help in making the

AIDWYC lawyers James Lockyer and Joanne McLean realized what had happened to Anthony while they were reviewing another wrongful conviction case. James and Joanne discovered that Paul Bernardo had confessed to the crime for which Anthony pleaded guilty. The officers who followed up on Bernardo’s confession later wrote that “Paul Bernardo is the person responsible for committing this offence…. [He] provided accurate details of the offence, details that would only be known to the person responsible for committing [it].” (Pazzano, Toronto Sun) AIDWYC officially took Anthony’s case in early 2008.

There are a number of statutory frameworks, codes of practice and guidelines in which helps to support schools in their duty to implement the above legislation. Some of the statutory frameworks, codes of practice and guidelines are stated below:

Outcome 1 Understand the legislation and policies that support the human rights ind inclusion of individuals with learning disabilities

Discrimination affects the intellectual health of an individual by causing a loss of interest, loss of motivation, restricted opportunities, poor job prospect, poor life achievement; an individual that is finding it hard to cope in college because of his disabilities is more likely to drop off because he is not provided with sufficient support. We can say that not providing the necessary support is restricting his access to education which is contrary to the education Act 1996 which sets out the schools responsibilities towards children with special educational needs. The Act also requires that school provide additional equipment and resources and/or support to meet their needs. Such individual will suffer from stress, will be unable to cope

1.1 Identify Legislation and policies that are designed to promote the human rights, inclusion, equal life chances and citizenship of individuals with learning disabilities.

Throughout the ages, people with disabilities have been hidden away at homes or institutions and were often not educated. This was common practice and as such, when the education system was designed, children with disabilities were not even considered. Then, starting soon after the civil rights movement in the 50’s, a series of lawsuits was brought against school boards and the federal government took notice. Then the Education for all Handicapped Children Act of 1975 was passed and these children were finally allowed the education they deserved. As time went

To Kill a Mockingbird , by Harper Lee, was and still is a stunning novel. Lee infused many different themes which reveal as the story progresses. One of the most prevalent and significant themes in this book is social inequality. Throughout the story, social inequality is present and is shown through Maycomb's “caste system” (175).

The education act is based towards the school responsibilities towards children with special educational needs. It means schools must provide resources, equipment and extra support to meet the needs of any children. The disability act places a duty on schools to encourage children to participate in all different areas of school life free from harassment and discrimination. It also eliminates barriers to make sure that children can have equal

Students are being handcuffed, arrested and expelled for possession of a butter knife or water gun, punishment that disproportionately targets African-American students, students being alienated and never returning to school after being suspended or expelled are all byproducts of the zero tolerance policies adopted by their school district. School administrators have abandoned common sense due to their adherence to zero tolerance policies by applying the same discipline to students that are guilty of minor offenses and non-violent rules violations, or just poor judgment as they due to

Until that time, many states had laws that excluded children with certain types of disabilities from attending public school. These included children who were blind, deaf and children labeled "emotionally disturbed" or "mentally retarded." Many of these children lived at state institutions where they received limited or no educational services. Having a disability does not automatically qualify a student for special education services under the IDEA. The disability must result in the student needing additional or different services to participate in school. For example, a child who is diagnosed autistic. Children with disabilities who qualify for special education are also automatically protected by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Special education has faced many changes during the last century. During this time there have been many opinions on the way students with differences should be taught and treated. This paper will discuss the history of special education during the twentieth century. We will also discuss the laws associated with Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Finally we will discuss the current and future challenges that the laws have on special education.
