The last question we worked on was fairly easy, this one you might find a little more difficult. Remember this is a national test, what your district does may not be what this question(or any other) is looking for. I believe 51% got this one correct.
All students with disabilities are guaranteed certain rights under which federal law?
A The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA/IDEIA)
B The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504)
C The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
D The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Correct answer = B The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504)
Rationale: All students with disabilities are guaranteed certain rights under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This law is a civil rights law that disallows disability-based discrimination in public schools. Students with disabilities affecting learning are guaranteed the right to a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment as well as related services under IDEA/IDEIA. The ADA guarantees the rights of all individuals with disabilities and particularly the right to physical access to public buildings. FERPA protects the privacy of educational records.
