Running head: ATTITUDE, LEGISLATION, AND LITIGATION Attitude, Legislation, and Litigation Tammie Johnson Grand Canyon University: SPE 226 April 1, 2012 Attitude, Legislation, and Litigation The education of students with disabilities has changed over the years. During the B.C. era students with disabilities were consider a disgrace, were shun by society, and the Greek philosopher Aristotle openly declared, “As to the exposure and rearing of children, let there be a law that no deformed child shall live“(Hardman, Drew, & Egan, 2009, p. 4) When children with disabilities were denied access from the public school system, they were taught separately from the general population and were placed in isolated special education classrooms. Through most of the history of public schools in America, services to children with disabilities were minimal and were provided at the discretion of local school districts. Until the mid 70’s, laws in most state actually allowed schools to refuse enrollment of students with disabilities; while on the other hand some students with special needs were admitted to the public school system and placed in regular classroom but did not receive the required special services, while other were served in special programs that were considered inadequate.
“People with disabilities have historically been viewed as a burden to families and society” (Drew, Clifford J., Egan, M. Winston & Hardman, Michael L. (2011). They have been separated from the main stream society within schools. They have been banned from regular classrooms and regular schools. They have not been allowed to socialize with their peers because of their disabilities, but this has all came full circle bringing students with disabilities together with other students with acceptance. This change is now providing students with disabilities education.
Special Populations One group of students that have struggled for equality in education is students with disabilities and impairments. Physical or mental disabilities may be defined as complex phenomenon of a person’s body or mental capacity that limits them from interacting with the features of the society that they live in (Knoblauch, 1998). A disability my include but is not limited to physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, emotional, developmental impairment or some combination of these. These impairments caused exclusion and segregation of many students in society and in the classroom. However, through hard work and determination, advocate groups and parent right groups were able to fight for rights of people with impairments.
A case review is when a child or young person has been abused badly and then unfortunately passed away for, the local safeguarding children's board (LSCB) are the people who decide whether it is a serious case to review, they have to find out why the incident happened, why nothing was done and why the procedures wasn’t acted upon. When a serious case review happens there are many different people that are involved such as the social services, health visitor, educational setting (nursery, college and school) and the police, The education setting will get asked by many different people as to why they haven't noticed and cuts bruises or even change in behaviour, when all these people get involved they all do a report on how everything happened
So, why do school boards choose to keep such books away from children when hundreds of other people say that these books have academic value? William Faulkner, for example, is an author whose books have appeared on the banned books list and have been challenged by a number of school districts. Yet, in most advanced placement classes his works are a required read. What is it that makes books such as his cause people to ban them? The novel As I Lay Dying is one of William Faulkner’s more famous works.
It is focus on the barriers that disable people have in the social environment. The people’s attitude towards the disabled child or young person. The people without prior notification, assume that all disabled children and young people are pitiful, incapable, fearful and childlike.

If you are not from a certain class then your opinions do not matter and will not be heard. As silly as this may sound I have even seen cases where it is “who you know and who you don’t” that make a difference. These cases may seem petty and little but they hinder our communication process greatly and cause many problems in our workforce. In return from the problems this is causing it is also giving our local system a bad name and our parents are hearing these rumors and issues and deciding to take their children out of our systems and taking them to other schools causing our program to lose funding by the
Isolated from their homes, punished for speaking in their own language children become distanced from their culture. As Reimer says, “… the residential school experience left students feeling alienated from their community, creating generation gaps. Prolonged and repeated periods of separation between parents and children living in different worlds resulted in an inability to communicate in terms of language, but more-so in terms of not being able to connect and relate to each other. “ This experiences resulted in loss of culture , identity , spirituality and nation; besides , or Aboriginal people it wasn’t an abrupt event, but continued in one form or another through centuries of intense pain and suffering, In conclusion, we can easily see from these few examples, just some of the negative effects of residential schools , not only on their students but on entire Aboriginal society .
