Landmark Court Cases Comparison
OVERVIEW
Before the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, children with disabilities commonly received unequal treatment in United States public schools. A movement to compel states to provide equal educational opportunities for children with disabilities eventually emerged from parents and advocacy groups. For this assignment, you will examine foundational cases that have impacted the right to education for children with disabilities.
