Since the 1960′s there have been numerous legislative acts intended to protect the rights of children with disabilities. One key piece of legislation, the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), provides that children be placed in the least restrictive environment possible for their education. Anderson, Chitwood, and Hayden (1997), state,
“before IDEA, our schools almost always segregated children with disabilities from children without disabilities. Now, however, our nation has legislation that requires all students to have equal access to education. As a result, increasing numbers of children with disabilities are being integrated into regular education classrooms. Under IDEA, students with disabilities are guaranteed services in the least restrictive environment.” (p. XV).
