This paper describes the content of two major laws affecting special education, identifies the agencies charged with their implementation, and provides a list of resources that address specific questions about these laws and their application in special education. The first law, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in any program or activity that receives financial assistance from the U.S. government. It guarantees an appropriate special education as well as accessibility to regular education programs and applies to all persons with disabilities regardless of age. The second law, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, extends protection from discrimination to private sector and state and local government activities. It has four titles dealing with employment, public services, public accommodations, and telecommunications. Two lists conclude the paper: one provides information on 16 organizational resources, and the other provides addresses for the 10 regional offices of the U.S. Office for Civil Rights. (JDD)
