- Summary:
-
Written for handicapped persons, their parents, and their advocates, the manual is intended to assist disabled persons to exercise their rights of citizenship. The first section addresses three major laws: P.L. 94-142 (the Education for All Handicapped Children Act), the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Developmentally Disabled Assistance and Bill of Rights Act. The second section covers four specific consumer protection mechanisms required by the legislation: individualized program planning, nondiscrimination, least restrictive alternative, and procedural safeguards in education. The final section presents 10 case studies illustrating interpretation of the legislation and application of the consumer protection mechanisms. Case studies present a problem situation, statement of issues, and discussion. (CL)
