  Origins of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

  It's shocking for me to hear about the despicable conditions that existed for many disabled individuals even into the 1970s. As a fairly young teacher I've never experienced an education environment that excluded students with disabilities.
  
  Many times students with disabilities are still not receiving the quality of education that they should be entitled too. At a past job we often received students coming from schools who had isolated special education departments where students with disabilities never experienced a "normal" classroom. Anecdotally, these students generally struggled mightily upon entering our school, but improved in many areas very quickly compared to their progress within their previous experiences in the isolated special education departments.
