Explain why Public Law 94-142 was revised into what is now the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (I.D.E.A. )

Explain why Public Law 94-142 was revised into what is now the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (I.D.E.A. ). You will likely experience inclusion—whether regular or partial—as a part of your classroom, in your role as a teacher. Choose one of the types of disabilities categorized by I.D.E.A. in Table 7.1: “The 13 I.D.E.A. Categories of Disability” (in Chapter 7 of the course text). Identify the type of disability, provide a short description of it, and share two strategies you would use in your classroom to accommodate it. These strategies should show that the above laws are recognized and reflected in classroom practice to ensure your student(s) make adequate yearly progress.
