The EYFS framework sets out the legal requirements relating to the early learning goals, the educational programmes, and the assessment arrangement (in section 2) and the legal requirements relating to welfare- safeguarding and promoting children’s welfare, suitable people, suitable premises,, environment and equipment, organization and documentation(section 3). The early learning goals describe what a child should be able to do at the end of academic year, “establish expectation” that most children are expected to reach when a child reaches his/hers five. It provides a basis for planning throughout the EYFS. The educational programmes describe the support and teaching that the child requires to help him/her to achieve those learning goals. Some children will have exceeded these goals, but it depends on their individual needs.

Kaldenberg Grand Canyon University: SPE-350 Special Education Litigation and Law Wednesday, May 23, 2012 History of Special Education Law The Venn-Diagram above compares the similarities and differences of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1990, 1997, and 2004.

Inclusion: An Argument for Accountability in Education Celise Luker Witherington SE 500 Fall 2014 Before 1975, children who were regarded as having special needs did not have access to a free, appropriate public education (FAPE). They were deprived of an education based on their disability. As time passed, parents and educators stood together to push for legislation to protect the rights of children with special needs. With the enacting of laws, such as the Education for all Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA 1975), Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 1990, 2004) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA 1990) special needs students were given access to a FAPE and learning in the least restrictive environment (LRE). According to the State of Alabama Department of Education website, based on the October 2013 Child Count, the number of children classified in the thirteen identified exceptionalities was 80,803 with the total number of students being 746,204.
