PRESENTATION:

LAWS ADDRESSING INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND SPECIAL POPULATIONS ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS

The candidate will create a comprehensive presentation that completes the following:

(a) Compares and contrasts legislative and judicial mandates related to education and special education, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and federal education legislation (i.e., reauthorizations of the Elementary and Secondary Act (ESEA) of 1965), and The Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V, 2018), and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (2014).

(b) Details the rights and responsibilities of parents, students, teachers, and schools as they relate to individuals with special needs and disability issues. The presentation must address the points above but may be tailored to an audience of the candidate’s choosing (i.e., a secondary student transitioning into post-secondary education or employment, a parent of a child with a disability, or a professional development session for teachers). The candidate will prepare a 20–25-slide PowerPoint presentation, include at least 5 sources (one of which must be the course textbook), and follow current APA format and be written at or above a master's level quality.
