FreshEd #153 –Special Education Law in the United States and Beyond (Charles J. Russo)

from FreshEd · host FreshEd with Will Brehm

Laws that mandate education for special needs students have not always existed. In the United States, courts only began referring to students with special needs in the early 1900s. At the time, such students were typically excluded from public school. Things began to change after the Brown v. Board of Education supreme country ruling in 1954. Twenty years later in the 1970s, congress enacted various legislation mandating educational services and support for children with special needs. My guest today is Charlie Russo. In our conversation, Charlie details the power of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and situates it in an international context. Charlie Russo is the Joseph Panzer Chair in Education in the School of Education and Health Sciences and Research Professor of Law in the School of Law at the University of Dayton. www.freshedpodcast.com/Charlierusso Twitter: @FreshEdpodcast Facebook: FreshEd Email: [email protected]
