Special Education Law – Overview
Many of us, who went to school not that long ago, remember that being a special needs student meant riding to school in a separate bus and attending one class with other children of varying disabilities. These classes resembled more of a day care than school, and even the most advanced students had little hope of receiving a high school diploma, let alone attend college. Since that time, the term disability, and special needs student, has expanded to encompass much more than a person with an IQ below a certain arbitrary standard. What I have attempted to do in my first article is to give a little history of the evolution of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
In 1954 the United States Supreme Court decided Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954) which found that segregated schools were a violation of equal protection rights. It would be another twenty years before this concept was applied to children with handicaps, especially learning disabilities, trying to receive an education. In fact, shortly after Brown was decided the Illinois Supreme Court found that compulsory education did not apply to mentally impaired students, and as late as 1969, it was a crime to try to enroll a handicapped child in a public school if that child had ever been excluded.

Distance Learning – Coming to a Country Near You
The dream of attending school in the United States is often an impossible dream for international students. Whether for reasons of cost or for reasons associated with paperwork, most international students struggle in their pursuit of studying in the U.S. Today, these same international students now have an option that will allow them to attend school in the United States, without having to take on the financial or administrative burden of doing so – it’s called distance learning.
Distance learning is becoming a popular trend within the United States, but increasingly popular with people living outside of the United States. The U.S. system of education is still the standard by which all others are measured, and as such, many international students still seek out opportunities to be educated by American institutions. With the added option of distance learning, any international student with a computer and a high speed Internet connection can attend school in the United States.
