Abstract
In November 1975, Congress passed The Education for All Handicapped Children Act (public law 94-142) which became effective on October 1, 1977. This law requires that any state receiving funds through PL 94-142 provide a "free appropriate public education" for each resident handicapped child, and protect the procedural rights of parents and children in the receipt of these special education services. State and local educational agencies (school systems) must develop and implement plans to identify, locate, and evaluate these children, and place them into suitable programs, all toward the goal of "full educational opportunity" for each (sections 612 and 613).1
