Discussion: IDEA and ADA Legislation
As a behavior analyst, it is likely that you will work with many different types of clients, including clients with disabilities. It is especially critical that behavior analysts understand the requirements and ethical considerations in working with this population. Over the years, two critical pieces of legislation have been enacted in the United States to make sure individuals with disabilities have rights and are protected in this country.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law that was enacted in 1975. It ensures that public education is available at no charge to eligible children with disabilities, including special education and related services. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990. This is a law about fundamental civil rights for persons with disabilities. It protects individuals with disabilities against discrimination “in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public” (ADA National Network, n.d.).
This week’s Discussion focuses on IDEA and ADA. You will review these two laws and explore their impact on behavior analysts and how they practice their craft.
