250 Words1 Page

    Before the 1960s, students with disabilities usually did not have the same opportunities as those without disabilities. Parents were beginning to take a more active role in their child’s education and beginning to question why their child with a disability could not be educated in a public school setting (Friend, 2014, p. 11). Because parents began speaking up for their child’s rights, several important decisions were made. In the case Pennsylvania Association for Retarded Children v. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (1972), it was decided that children with intellectual disabilities would value from a free public education that was “tailored to their needs” (Friend, 2014, p. 11).
